Letter: Another hotel is not needed downtown

Editor: In response to the proposed hotel to be built in the Bank of America lot. First, why does the Ancient City need another hotel downtown? There are so many B&B's and hotels just a few blocks north of town.
Second, where do the handicap and elderly plan to park when going to church for Mass? I would love to go to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine more but there is never anywhere to park.
Others would go there, if they had places to park. Now, St Augustine is going to be ruined once again by building unnecessary hotels. And as for the parking problem, I'm surprised anyone goes down town.

In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
