The city council must reconsider the proposal for the new four-story hotel at Western Avenue and Lawrence Street. This hotel is a recipe for disaster. It would eliminate green space because it would be built where Winkler Park is now. Also, the construction would force the city to move its water and sewer lines. According to a recent study by the Independent Improvement Agency, moving the sewer lines would cost the city $1.2 million. The same study showed that the new hotel would cause an increase in traffic. For these reasons, the city council must reject this new construction project.
