Should be helpful to those just now learning about this project.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09115055715877234126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442599.post-86576020908478439552008-04-11T16:15:00.000-04:002008-04-11T16:15:00.000-04:00The Webbs seem to think their vision of Lexington is the only one that matters. I don't object to progress or new construction downtown. I did not join in the fight to save the buildings occupying the land used by our new and much needed courthouse. The building did not place excessive additional demands on our overburdened sewage system; it did not exceed the height limits of city buildings. <BR/><BR/>There must be compromise sometimes, and this time it is the Webbs who should rethink their plans. Allowing this building would be as bad for our sewage problem as the city's previous decision to let Southland Christian Church pipe in their sewage from across the county line. It would force the city to invest in new fire equipment to protect one building that is too tall for our current fire trucks to reach. <BR/><BR/>The Webbs would displace the farmer's market and pave over Phoenix Park, to vital meeting places for public activities. While they may consider the Dame a dive, it is an important performance venue for local artist, which adds to the culture flavor of downtown. <BR/><BR/>Lexington's downtown is more alive and vibrant than it has been in years. Lets all fight to keep it that way.Gwen Mayohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12873119642621584327noreply@blogger.com
