Subject: SAVE OUR DOWNTOWN

 

Dear Alderman Bauman,

 

I am absolutely opposed to the development plans that include demolishing major blocks of downtown Milwaukee.

 

This is our historical patrimony once demolished we cannot rebuild the past.

 

Economically is making more sense to find development solutions that rehab, refurbish and respect our architectural heritage.

 

There is plenty of open land in and around downtown that is better suited to a new hotel.

 

Please do not make the same mistake as we made with the Gugler Lithographic company which has become a scare on the landscape.

 

Vote No to ill-conceived development plans.

 

Thanks in advance for your time.

Annemarie
