Dear Survey Administrator,
Thank you for including me in your survey regarding mall parking
issues. I believe option A, with its emphasis on rapidly increasing
parking by converting vacant adjoining land, would serve shoppers
best. I believe the second option, building a multistory parkade,
would be too expensive, take too long, and provide a solution
beyond what is needed at this time.
My preference is based on the complete chaos I have witnessed in
the mall’s car park during recent weeks. While several shoppers
have left the lot and taken their business elsewhere, others have
simply abandoned their cars illegally. As you can imagine, this has
created major hurdles for everyone. Legitimately parked shoppers
have become totally frustrated trying to navigate their vehicles
around badly parked cars. Needless to say, this car park insanity is
creating an unsafe environment for all concerned. It needs to be
resolved quickly, before someone gets badly hurt.
I’m pretty sure that you could have the conversion completed by a
local construction company. There are several reputable ones to
choose from. Not only would using a local company be less
expensive, but it would also pour some much needed money into
the local economy.
I hope the mall succeeds in resolving its parking issue satisfactorily,
inexpensively and quickly.
Regards,
John
