There isn’t enough natural space left in Sarasota near the water!

Stupid idea,The contents of Marie Selby’s will revealed her wish to leave her property to the community as a botanical garden “for the enjoyment of the general public.”

More concrete should not be the solution.

Selby "Gardens" is suppose to be about a beautiful garden with plants and trees. There has been a building for meetings, weddings, etc for many years. Our family have visited and enjoyed the gardens for the 33 years we have lived in Sarasota. Why in the world do you need to ruin this beautiful sanctuary in Sarasota? Money, money, money=greed. Can we keep something the way it was intended or will we ruin it the way we have downtown Sarasota?!?!

I love visiting Shelby gardens when I'm visiting Sarasota. Please do not disturb it's beauty for a massive parking structure.

You are ruining your unique atmosphere in Sarasota on so many levels. The should find another location to build, this area is not the place.

Just NO!! We are destroying what brought these people here and killing any historical memory for native Sarasotan’s!!! Change is ok in moderation.... what we’re doing is insane!

This is an unnecessary addition that would not be in keeping with current zoning.

The overbuilding of Sarasota NEEDS TO STOP. The infrastructure is a disaster and they keep building. We all know who the culprits are. Boycott anything the currently built. Hit them in the wallet. Boycott Selby until they scrap the plans.

As a long time resident of Sarasota, I am firmly opposed to losing yet another publicly accessible shorefront access and opposed to even MORE concrete replacing a lush green space. This development will benefit only the most financially elite.
