Dear
Nik:
My name is Jamie Baird, and I am one of your constituents, as well
I
voted for you to be my alderman! I am unable to attend the
December
13th meeting as I cannot leave work early, so I am sending a few
words
to you. I do not need to repeat the concise and legal reasons
laid
out by Ms.Opgenorth as to why it would be a travesty in many ways
to
approve the Marriott development. I do not disparage thoughtful
and
needed development. I do object to the decisions made by the
Historic
Preservation Commission being overturned lightly. A strong
sense of
history and an beautiful downtown are two things I love
about
to my community, to supporting local
businesses and preservation,
restoration and re-purposing whenever
possible. I support a healthy,
vibrant, multi-layered Downtown
Milwaukee, one that is attractive to
residents and tourists. One that
supplies a well-rounded mix of
commerce, industry and entertainment.
Gutting that particular corner
would remove more than just concrete and
stone, it would remove a
significant portion of
individuality, a portion of what makes us
overdeveloped, generic, bloated ticky tacky facade passing as
a
relevant, competitive, individualist city.
I implore you to uphold
the educated and reasoned decision by the
Historic Preservation Commission,
to trust their judgment and function
and focus and do not award a Certificate
of Appropriateness for the
demolition of
Sincerely,
Jamie
Baird
