Comments The proposed new construction at 269 Broadway should not go
forward. The scale and design does not blend with the beautiful
historic buildings on either side of this project. It sticks out like a
sore thumb and diminishes the aesthetic of the historic district
that distinguishes Saratoga Springs and makes it one of the
most attractive main streets in America. Allowing development
that ignores height and scale and materials that blend with the
historic nature of the city diminishes what makes Saratoga
Springs special. When visiting Copenhagen I saw how out of
scale development destroyed a classic old city. The high rise
junk being built next to the amazing city hall was sickening.
Someone needs to care about preserving what makes
Saratoga unique. Don't destroy our city by allowing this
monstrosity to go forward. PLEASE push for a redesign and
listen to the Preservation Foundation. We need people to step
up and do the right thing. If MacDonald's could build a store
that blends with the city, this project can do the same. PLEASE
do the right thing!
