Dear Historic Landmarks Commission Members
I speak to the De La Guerra plan, but first, celebrate all the good work that your commission has done to maintain the cultural and historic heritage of our fine city.
This "Revitalization Plan" is really a Historic Preservation and Restoration project, not a "from scratch, imagined place." The City Hall Plaza exists. It has a proud, 100-year, distinguished history, and it offers users a unique and genuine look that was best in its 1920 beginning. The present "Conceptual Plan" does not say "important historical place," it says "shopping mall"!
