I am disgusted to read the cities intended plan on selling land that was essentially donated to the community! Yes, some new market price apartments could be slapped up in no time but is the congestion, the communities increased distrust of the city and going against the original owner and donator of the land worth it?! I certainly think it isn't.
I loath the idea of the eyesore that will pop up if the city has its way:poorly designed, slapstick market prices units with no history or connection to the neighborhoods attributes. One plus could be a museum on cities acting against their communities best interest coupled with exhibits on poor design, poor city planning, and poor traffic managment. Also one given would be that in 20-30 years the poorly designed building will be razed and refilled with the newest design trends!

It is bad policy and precedent to sell public land, especially without any proper process of consulting the people in the neighborhood.

The recent Wilder Foundation study of the neighborhood of the future showed that a library at the center of the community was of value for children and families and elders. The city of Saint Paul should support that desire for all ages of residents and guests!

There are other ideas besides the sale of this property which should be publically discussed.

This land is dedicated to a community library. Why would the city want to sell land that is doing so much good.

C'mon St Paul - There's gotta be a better way to raise money. Carnegie Library is, indeed, a neighborhood icon.

We should be looking at having green space for everyone to enjoy something from nature instead of concrete.

As a long time resident of St. Paul and a supporter of the Pollinator Garden at the SAP Library, I ask that another solution be found to raise revenue.

We need those small woodsy areas such as this one. Leave it alone.

This is part of our important heritage. Shame on the City for selling it! People donated this for the library.

Don't sell our library! It builds community!
It is simply bad policy to sell public land!
