While I am excited to see the improved use and safety of Town Square Park with increased lighting, and considerations for events and enjoyment of the green spaces, I encourage you to pass a plan that includes a true solution for drop off to the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. The current drop off locations require distant travel across infrequently plowed streets, or require people to exit vehicles into traffic on icy streets. Without a drop off esplanade in front of the PAC, our citizens with mobility concerns are put at substantial risk of harm. Town Square Park is the PAC's front yard and, as such, should be made accessible to all. Additionally, the esplanade, when not in use for PAC events, could be used for food trucks, or other activities which could benefit park events. There must be a more cooperative and coordinated effort. Thank you for your consideration!
