Comments Thank you for the opportunity to note my opposition to the
proposed sidewalk changes at 395 Broadway. The historically
wide sidewalk is a defining feature of Broadway. The proposed
stairs will reduce the sidewalk width to 10’ feet at a significant
corner in our downtown, and the existing green space along the
street will also be compromised as part of the proposed plan.
Accessibility can be accommodated via other reasonable
means within the building footprint. The design of these stairs is
inconsistent with other stairs on Broadway, and on the scale of
a large municipal or civic building (i.e., City Center), not a
private business. I share additional concerns about public
safety and loitering – all of the same concerns the Saratoga
Springs Preservation Foundation has articulated (I serve as a
Board member). Thank you for your consideration of these
critical concerns that would irrevocably alter the very center of
our historic downtown.
