Subject:Palm-Nipomo Parking Garage/SLO Repertory Theatre
Dear Members of the City Council:
It’s surprising that there is even a whiff of controversy about the proposed joint project
involving the Palm-Nipomo Parking Garage and a new home for SLO Repertory Theatre.
I strongly urge you to approve this project:
The new garage will provide badly needed additional parking, and let’s not forget that the
garage has been long planned and promised. It would be nice if autonomous cars and more
bicycles would erase the need for this parking, but that is extremely unlikely to happen in
the next 30 to 40 years, the lifetime of a new garage.
Approving SLO Repertory’s plans for a new theater would be a sterling example of good
government as it will leverage public lands and private dollars to enhance San Luis
Obispo’s cultural vitality. This would follow the very successful example that made the
Performing Arts Center such a boon for the region.
Please green light this joint project.
Thank you for your consideration.
Robert Koob
