Subject: [PFSNI] parking lot or garden center?
To my neighbors:
I just heard from our neighbor Milan that there are plans to
convert the vacant lot at 51st and Baltimore into a parking lot for
Francis Funeral Home and about an alternative proposal to use the
lot as a space to build a garden center. I want you to know that
with due respect to Francis Funeral Home, I wonder if a parking lot
is the best option for a busy commercial strip on which we've just
spent many thousands of dollars to install pedestrian lighting. As
an area resident I believe the area has ample parking. Also, a
garden center would not only provide an important retail connection
between 52nd St and Baltimore Ave, it would fill a long time need
and wish of the community.
Jannie Blackwell's office indicates that unless there are a
good number of concerned e-mails very quickly, the parking lot would
get the green light. An email about this would need to go to these 4
people, if you're interested in weighing in on this:

Thanks to all!
