I oppose the idea of the garage being used as a Bus Depot. I also oppose the public having to pay for it. Mr. Karp, & mr. lagasse are the ones who will benifit from this. Have them pay for it.

]]> Sat, 8 May 2010 09:09:30 UTC 7549552 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7544149?utm_medium=rss I think a parking garage would be a blemish on the beautiful face of downtown Newburyport. Any size would be out of scale, and just the nature of a parking garage is antithetical to all that downtown Newburyport is and stands for.

However, the people still come and it all works out just fine. We have no need on a day to day basis for a garage. This only serves property owners who want to use it as a selling point.

There are many options, such as running a shuttle from the train station, Park and ride, or the Port Plaza area, among others.

The bus terminal especially is a very bad idea and will change the character of the downtown from one of small town charm to one similar to an urban city like Haverhill.

]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:21:14 UTC 7481426 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7479916?utm_medium=rss Putting in a large concrete monstrosity directly in the middle of Newburyport? It never, ceases to amaze me how some people would choke the goose that lays the golden egg without even questioning it.

It will not fit in with the downtown. The Mayor should listen to the people who elected her. Putting up a parking garage is a poor idea. I am more concerned with the people who live here and what we want rather than tourists.

The integrity of this city is what people back then fought so long and hard for- to maintain Nbpt's history and beautiful architecture. Today the city bears the fruits of that labor and passion. I implore the mayor and the council not to put a garage and a MRTA bus station in downtown Newburyport. This will irreparably change the beauty of this town. It's not necessary- there are alternative solutions

]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 06:28:05 UTC 7463416 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7463179?utm_medium=rss Dear Mayor Holaday, Your proactive energy and forward thinking on many city issues so early in your term is admirable. I agree that we need more parking spaces, likely a garage, to help visitors enjoy the city, but I also agree that having a transportation center downtown would be ruinous to the integrity and character of the city itself. Residents will lose what they came here for. Please consider another location with shuttle transportation, or walking, to bring visitors to historic NBPT. EBP

]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:33:26 UTC 7461488 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7460752?utm_medium=rss This says it all for me:Trying to force fit a big box downtown is dangerously out of scale with its surroundings and will irreversibly damage the unique charming historic essence of our city. In the 1970s, when shortsighted commercial interests wanted to bulldoze our beautiful downtown brick row houses, visionary leaders rallied the residents of the city to save what is now the center of our historic seacoast community.
