| Summary: | Again, the first question elected officials should ask is "How does this hotel development directly benefit the residents of Dunedin?" The appropriate position of the city should be that if the Hilton wants to come into town and take advantage of what has been developed by the taxpayers of Dunedin, then it should pay its fair share in the development of downtown by providing free parking to city residents. If it is not willing to invest in the community, then the city should wait until a business is willing to do so. Dunedin is what it is today because of its residents and the historic focus on the residents in the development of downtown. Residents should strongly object to any plan that proposes parking meters downtown and otherwise negatively impacts the community, including overflow street parking into adjacent residential areas. This would be a total disaster for downtown business, adjacent residential areas and the historic character of the city. |
