| 860 | Malika Browne | SY | In addition, I oppose the granting of any more restaurant licences in the Old City. Any new businesses opening, whether they be shop or restaurant, should be subject to intense scrutiny, and the restaurants should all be able to provide a plan for customer parking. | Journalist |

| 877 | James A. Reilly | CA | The old cities of Bilad al-Sham have taken a terrible beating over the past 30 years. Save this jewel for the benefit of future generations. Who needs another crappy ring road lined with concrete monstrosities?? (Or if they must be built, put them somewhere else.) | History Professor |
| 878 | Ammar | SY | | |
| 879 | John Cassidy | US | The destruction of Old Damascus should not be allowed without serious objective impact analysis
studies that consider alternate routes and transportation means that can minimize
the long term adverse impacts of rapid development and preserve the historical and cultural value of Old Damascus for all of humanity. | |
| 880 | Ernest Tufft | US | Moving out exisiting residents and "modernizing" old walled Damascus would be a mistake, not only for Syria but also for the tourists who come to appreciate the what reminants of culture and architecture of ancient Syria remain. | Professor |

| 885 | Deborah Felmeth | US | Support the health, beauty and vitality of old Damascus in the same way that many European cities have done, by limiting traffic not by creating more cement block and pavement!! Find ways to increase the ease of momvement by having license numbers eligible to enter the city on every othe day. DO the thing which PRESERVES the beauty of this amazing city, both inside the old wall and yes, especially immediately outside the wall in order not to isolate the old city as an island in the midst of a sea of polluting vehicles!! | Teacher |

| 899 | Khaled El-Jabi | SY | bulldozing anything that is 100's of years old is a very limited and short term solution. If they proceed with this 'road', it will be only a few years before the congestion is back but all the old houses are gone forever. If the Syrian Govt. is serious about solving the traffic situation then it will have to look deeper than a solution that has been tried elsewhere in the world and failed miserably. | Commercial Director |
