Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.] Ms. Elmer: Please attach my following comments to File #211994, Item #8 on the May 9, 2022 Historic Preservation Commission Agenda: Dear Historic Preservation Commission Members: I urge you to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for all of the proposed alterations at Washington High School at 2525 N. Sherman Blvd. The benefits of the highly visible improvements, replacement of the storage building, repair of the gate and masonry columns and the replacement of the basketball courts far out weigh any negative impact the installation of the less visible artificial turf football/soccer field will have on the Sherman Boulevard Historic District. This is a win-win project for both MPS and the Sherman Boulevard Historic District. It will greatly improve Washington High School's athletic facilities and will also enhance the appearance of the Sherman Boulevard Historic District. Thank you for your consideration. Jim Carroll 929 N. Astor St #2303 Milwaukee, WI 53202 Washington High School-Class of '71.
