We the undersigned request that the CRA and/or Council vote "NO" on purchasing the parcels on 4th and 4th and to not construct a parking garage on this property:
We oppose this purchase and the subsequent building of a multi-level public garage in the heart of an Old Naples neighborhood zoned for residential use. We ask Council to respect the residential boundaries and follow land codes.
We expect Council to uphold the Fifth Avenue South Overlay District Code (Division 6 Section 581131) which states the Division will ensure that no significant additional traffic impacts will be added to surrounding neighborhoods.
We want our city to engage its voters and residents in meaningful conversation about such major decisions and not introduce and vote on them during summer months when many are out of town.
City Council should follow the intent of CRA legislation and spend our tax dollars on projects that align with that legislation and where there is real need, such as between Rte. 41 and Goodlette Frank, and the River and Anthony Park neighborhoods.
We want our city officials and planners to reconsider their commitment to a 25 year old plan and to begin vetting the recommendations of this Miami developer with residents in order to ensure that we preserve and protect the character, charm, and small town feel of Old Naples as the town has promised to do.

The level of engagement this petition has received demonstrates a clear public mandate to protect the integrity of our neighborhood. Your collective commitment confirms that our residents expect city officials to prioritize residential character over outdated development plans.

The petition has officially surpassed one hundred signatures. This level of participation sends a clear message that the current proposal for a parking garage does not align with the expectations of our neighborhood.

2 Public Garages and 1 Public Parking lot in a 4 block radius already exists. Costs involved Disruption involved Long term advantages slim We are a Blue Zone, walk from the other garages and if disabled, you can always be dropped off and picked up.
Fifth Avenue is already overcrowded in season. We do not need more stress on our streets and certainly not in our residential neighborhoods. That is grossly unfair to the people who live here. A much better idea is an off site shuttle service.
As a lifelong resident I have witnessed the de-escalation of Naples' small town ambiance and feel the addition of another parking garage will further overwhelm the 5th Avenue and 3rd Street South congestion. Please don't let this become another Miami !!!!
As a resident of 7th Ave S I am strongly against building an above ground superstructure for parking as it will lead to a commercialization of an otherwise residential/small business community and it will negatively affect residential home values.
It's a terrible deal for the City, wastes taxpayer money, benefits the most successful street in Collier County, accelerates overdevelopment, damages the small-town charm and character of Naples, and fails to alleviate blight. Total CRA failure!
Please, no giant garage!
Please don't add garage to this area, It would detract from homes in the area.

I am totally against the garage since it doesn't make any sense for many reasons. I park every day at the Cambier parking garage, on average 200 empty spaces each day. Why add more parking? Also, more parking equals more traffic, not necessary.
