On Thursday, July 27th, the city of Miami will vote on whether or not to proceed with
plans for a hotel on Watson Island. Commissioner Ken Russell's Facebook page is
filled with comments opposing a hotel in public land. What do you want? Suggested

Dear Commissioners: Please do not allow excessive commerce in Watson
Island. Preserve public open green spaces. Miami is a place that is known for
its natural beauty. Tourists come to enjoy our sunshine, fauna and flora. Lets
preserve it.
Please include my comment as part of public records on the issue of Watson
Island.

I agree. Watson Island was given to the citizens of Miami. Open, green spaces
available to everyone. NO hotels or future commercial enterprises on the site.
Miami Yacht Club Youth Sailing Foundation and the Japanese Gardens should
receive more public support as they serve the community from that location.
Thanked!

Dear Commissioners,
Keep Watson Island accessible to the Miami residents... not catering to
developers to build tourist destinations (with hotels or adventure parks with
high-priced entrance fees).
Losing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration would be a HUGE
loss for the City of Miami, and all of South Florida. If they can be
accommodated on a part of Watson Island... it would be a great solution for the
NOAA needing additional space! Let's not lose this great institute to competing
cities like St. Petersburg who know the value of their work, knowledge and
research!
Thanked!

I agree...keep Watson Island open to the public....as it was intended. The last
developer held prime land hostage for almost 20 years...and this one is asking
for a huge lease extension. No more commercial enterprises on Watson Island!

Let's support the not for profits that actually give back to the community. Miami
Yacht Club Youth Sailing Foundation has been teaching Miami kids to sail since
the 1920's. The Japanese Garden is a lovely oasis in the heart of Miami. Even
the boat ramp serves the public. As to NOAA: Miami Yacht Club has a 2nd
story office that is being used (for FREE) by the police department now. It
would be great to have NOAA there! No more commercial development on
Watson Island. Please create green space for the public to use...and enjoy one
of the best views of our wonderful city.
