Subject: Save Our Downtown Appeal regarding Bowling Alley/bar/etc
Dear Mayor Marx and Coucil Members:
The proposed conversion of the former Sports Authority building into a bowling alley/entertainment complex has some
serious issues. A few are:
1) It adds far too many alcohol outlets to an already over -saturated area
2) The expansion of alcoholic establishments in the downtown will no doubt require more police resources which will
further reduce the availability of policing for the neighborhoods
3) The inclusion of bowling alleys makes the project seem benign and family oriented but there is much more to this
project than just bowling.
Apparently the profits derived from the sale of alcohol trumps all.
Donley and Carol Winger
