Comments When the head of the Saratoga Springs Design Review
Committee publicly says the building proposed at 269
Broadway "looks like a cruise ship docked on Broadway," we all
know there is a problem. Like a cruise ship on Broadway, this
building is totally out of place. It is too big and will tower over
everything nearby. It would sit on a fairly narrow two lane
section of Broadway. Traffic and parking are already issues.
The developer claims that their 70 underground parking spots
will take care of the parking issue. The building is expected to
accommodate hundreds of employees as well as retail
customers. The very limited two hour parking in this area
cannot accommodate these cars. Where will they go? In
addition the excavation of the site to build a two story
underground parking lot leaves many questions unanswered as
excavation will dig below the water table significantly. Do we
know what effect this will have on neighboring properties? Who
will take responsibility for potentially irreversible damages to
nearby properties?
"Looks like a cruise ship docked on Broadway." Is this the
d i rection ou r city shou Id take?
