My father was shot and killed in )ds" three years ago, and I think I do understand business downtown. s all I have known all my life, and I am concerned about parking. has been a lot of hurt in the past, and I know some of the people in •oom are customers of Power Drug. I know that we have a lot of people ive come into the store who have been hurt in the redevelopment in the ind that were forced out of business. For some reason or other, this keeps continuing. I am against the concept of parking; I think we do not .he proper parking facilities and I don't believe the parking garage will job. Just coming up here I noticed that in the lot from our business and in redevelopment land, including the hole, approximately 300 cars and I notice that through Wyman's and Osco's another 100 cars are being 1, so there are roughly 400 cars right there. Suppose a garage of 700; perceive problems if a mall were to be built, there would not be enough ig. If I were shopping, and had to drive clear to the top of a garage irn right around and drive right back out because of lack of parking, :o another garage, found it was filled; to do the business that will have done there will have to be around ten to twelve Million Dollars of !ss, most new, and I assure you, I cannot believe that we have that kind iness that is going to come to downtown South Bend. This business will :o leave some other area, Scottsdale or some other place. By 1979 �sity Mall will come into effect and we will not know the effects it will in downtown. So with these thoughts in mind, I am willing to submit a • to the redevelopment commission that I wish to be put in file or recorded, (6)
