Editor’s note: Fitzgerald is commenting on the April 16 letter from Margaret Flint.
To the editor:
As a former member of the Historic District Commission, I am surprised that the commission has not publicly voiced stronger objections to the significant expansion to this addition. It will be clearly visible not only to neighbors but to those passing through the area. It may also have an adverse impact on both the privacy and value of abutting properties.
The expansion may also increase the capacity of the facility that may generate more traffic problems and impact parking in a part of the center that is already often short of parking space. It is frequently difficult to find a parking spot to get into the library conveniently during its hours of operation. Bemis Hall also has too few spaces. What consideration has been given to that issue?
Sincerely,
Eleanor Fitzgerald
