Cons

• That there are only three Lots B to save for the public's continued use, fun, and relaxation.  We need about six more lots!

Reasons to choose Design Option D: 

Option D --

• Keeps Lots B for the public's continued use, fun, and relaxation
  

• Provides a large public waterfront gathering place uniting visitors and locals from a wide-range of economic levels and age groups
  

• Arranged in such a way that the public can view the Chesapeake Bay from both a distance and up close
  

• Develops tourist attraction with park-like activities for example a Ferris wheel, miniature golf course, carousel, museum, gazebos, fitness areas, and large fields for special events such as triathlons, boat races, car shows, art shows, family reunions, church groups, etc.
  

• Permits additional revenue generating opportunities such as gift shops, eateries, beachwear, ice cream and coffee shops, etc.
  

• Offers recreational activities with dedicated parking areas
  

• Provides ample off-street parking, requisite to any balanced plan
  

• Shows no on-street parking on First Street in the Lots B area and in surrounding neighborhoods
  

• Places the carousel or other such structure on the back B lot away from high tides and storm elements
  

• Reverses and moves the pavilion to direct entertainment noise out over the Bay rather than directing it throughout the surrounding neighborhoods
  

• Will stand alone on the East Coast as a regional jewel and major attraction on the Chesapeake Bay
  

Vision D-1:  Improves Design Option D by adding enhancements from Design Options A and B

Vision D-1 shown below includes all of the excellent reasons for selecting design Option D.  It also includes three additional enhancements that make it an even better choice than Option D. 

Vision D-1 --

1.  rounds and softens the corner of Point Comfort Avenue and Resort Boulevard,

2.  adds a critical mass of housing to front the Park and Bay area along Point Comfort Avenue and does not impede on the rights of the citizens to Keep Lots B as public land, and

3.  adds a parking strip along the waterfront at Resort Boulevard for short-term parking that would enable elderly and handicapped people who cannot leave their vehicles to have a way to sit and enjoy the views of the Chesapeake Bay.
