As a 34 year resident of Sarasota who has used and appreciated access to both our local music venues (including having children participating in Youth Orchestra) and Payne Park, I am disheartened with the current plan to relocate Holley Hall to Payne Park. I appreciate that we need a larger venue to accommodate the influx of new patrons of the arts but surely we can scout another location. And by the way, bigger is not always better.

I’ve seen it happen before.
Sewage and runoff can kill a very fragile environment.

Payne Park provides a very obscene environment for everyone, and everything, and I would hate to see that go to waste.

The orchestra should stay where it is currently located, or move to a location where it will not demolish green space. Payne Park is a public green space and should stay that way, period!

Overtly, the idea is appealing but the reality is just like the library downtown. Library patrons lose cay access throughout opera season and farmer's market because of lack of parking controls. What's the point of a park (or library) if the public can't access it? Ringling and 301 intersection is jammed most of the season. I would love to have the symphony so close to home but not at the sacrifice of any part of Payne Park.
