As a Savannah native of many generations, it seems to me grossly insensitive to the layout and evolution of the City to build an underground garage in what is a true neighborhood. Many more cars on our narrow streets, large constantly running noisy ventilation system, like at Ellis Square garage and constantly running pump. And the agony of construction, large earth moving equipment with constant horrid beep when in reverse and worse assaults to the residents.
I have received a response from Councilwoman Linda Wilder-Bryan, which I appreciate. However her response refers to helping "those most directly impacted." I find this to be ambiguous and would appreciate some clarification. As Savannah native and resident who does not, however, live in this neighborhood I still feel directly impacted by the destruction of my city's historic resources and their replacement by incompatible development. Who is Councilwoman Wilder-Bryan pledging to assist ? Please clarify. Thank you.
This project would exacerbate a chronic flooding issue west of Forsyth Park and endanger the foundations of the historic homes that define this neighborhood. Additionally, the parking garage would encourage increased traffic and congestion in one of the last authentic downtown neighborhoods occupied by Savannah locals that actually live and work in the city.
Cervical cancer is preventable, yet it disproportionately affects underserved communities. Expanding HPV vaccine access, screenings, and public health education can save lives and address health inequities. No woman should die from a preventable disease—we have the tools to act now.
