Please make a decision this for the people of Sarasota rather than for the money money money! The people of Sarasota wine more parks not having the parks we have stolen from us!

We need to save the park. It is a safe place for me to enjoy my self and hangout with people who love skateboarding as much as I do

Keep it by the bayfront where the patrons would prefer it to be and leave the green space where we would prefer it to be!

stop paving paradise and putting up parking lots! We've already lost so much marine life and birdlife due to greedy money, get a bus system and offer private rides .... there's plenty of parking at the old and closed malls and at the old Sweetbay grocery store! We have more options than this!

Why would you destroy a rare, beautiful green space in the city? I’m sure there are other locations that would be improved by this development instead of destroyed.

Payne Park has a remarkable history and that history should be preserved. Payne Park was the site of the first spring training teams and the Tin Can Tourists camp was located across the street. Today it has the public tennis courts and the skate park for Sarasota's skate enthusiasts. Keep the park public! Do not let this park follow the fate of so many of our historical sites.

As time passes Sarasota is losing its charm. I have been coming to Sarasota and I've owned property there for.44years. Every city needs green spaces and Sarasota is no exception. I support the arts however only a small percentage of the population can afford the luxury of attending concerts. More people don't go to concerts than do. Everyone can' afford being in beautiful outdoors surroundings. Think about it!. Please let's start rethinking our priorities.

Land grabs in Sarasota will ruin the city. Green space and parks are more important than any new buildings given the congestion. Please do not allow the destruction of this valuable natural resource. There is more than enough space outside of downtown for this type of construction. Have some vision! Green space is vital to humanity and the future viability of Sarasota.

Enough is enough. We have to stop developing every square inch of ground that is here.

The agreement was for a park when sold to the city, not a crazy large venue for the orchestra.

Keep the park a park. This city is gradually being ruined by over development and absurd ideas like this.
