Dear city council,
My name is Lorenzo Cano, a city and regional planning student at Cal Poly, and
member of Cal Poly Urbanists club.
I am writing to you in regard to item 6B, the purchasing of the lot on 1166 Higuera
Street. If this lot is to be purchased, I do not believe it should be used for more
surface parking. The implementation is going to be far too expensive for what it is,
and it grossly undervalues the citizens of the community. There is enough parking
in this city and the community residents would benefit much more from a
gathering space or mixed used housing on this space. Prioritizing vehicles and
private vehicle transit is a waste to all citizens. This public space would draw in
individuals and drive the local economy, much more than another surface parking
lot.
