It is almost impossible to imagine that the Cape Coral Council members continue to promote changes to Jaycee Park, a proposal that is overwhelmingly opposed by thousands of residents. The 60% design stage states that P3 negotiations are underway. P3 partnerships are simply contracts between government (Cape Coral) and private firms. Shedding some light on what the city hopes to accomplish with P3 that they cannot do without private investment may answer why council is stubbornly promoting a plan that will cost taxpayers $12 million dollars. Please, council members, name the kinds of private partners you are negotiating with. The proposed plan shows all the parking on the street side, eliminating the use of the present waterfront parking areas heavily used by the disabled and challenged elderly who will no longer be able to access the waterfront by vehicle. In an area inhabited by many in this category, this one aspect alone should be enough to stop the plan. The design reveals the largest areas of the park given to band stands, food trucks, alcohol areas, parking and washrooms. The pristine nature of this neighborhood park filled with shade and green space will be lost forever if this Coney Island design should go forward. I am copying this to mayor Gunter and council in hopes they will listen to the wishes of their people as opposed to park designers and some P3 partners.
