Lincoln Center sails on
Recently I have been attending meetings of GRVNC
to get information in regards to the proposed “Lincoln Center
Project.”
I have noticed that most of the persons who
choose to fill out speaker’s cards are quite adamant about the fact that
they DO NOT want this project. The more talk there is from the builder and
architect the taller the project becomes.
Currently the size would be seven
stories high and completely cover the ENTIRE two blocks, with removal of the
huge 50 year old Eucalyptus trees at the East edge of the property.
My understanding of the purpose of
this Neighborhood Council is to provide a “way for Venice to find common
ground and have a united voice.” This according to their own
“Intent” of purpose.
However, Dave Moring, who is the
representative for District One, in which this project is to be built seems to
have made himself a “committee of one” and decided that the project
is good for the community. He does not seem interested in the opinions the
hundreds of others who reside in District One, nor the rest of Venice.
This Neighborhood Council does not represent
the residents only its own agenda. This does not seem to be a very democratic
way to handle this situation. Venice is a NEIGHBORHOOD, not a Citadel, Galleria,
Century City, nor Del Amo. Let us be
VENICE!
