FLL, I tip my hat to you sir as unlike my rant, your post suggests a solution and what may well be a good one.
Someone else recommended the old Burger King site which I'm sure is equaly as good, but is most likely a very costly solution, so I can see where that might be a problem for someone looking for free land.
Again, I think the school/entertainment facility/boat ramp is a great idea, I just think the location is an injustice to everyone, EVERYONE!
I also have some concern/question about the proposed ramp. I dont see that happening without great expense from the extensive dredging required, and should it actually happen, will there really be public access and sufficient parking? My guess is that it ends up being accessible only to the school and to a very select few,,, I can't help but feel some are reading way too much into this talk of a public access ramp, has the project sponsor actually come out and said exactly what the goals of the proposed ramp are and made it clear that is a key element of the plan (to provide a public access ramp and parking) or is that just idea just being allowed to grow in hopes that more folks will sign up to support this plan???
Either way I hope everyone who is currently in support of this project will take a few minutes and actually go to Ellacoya and walk the area in question and then come back and say they want to bulldoze this area and add buildings, and docks, and moorings, and extensive parking, etc, etc, etc,,,
I would be even more surprised if everyone would still support this plan if they actually got out and walked the area.
