There are a variety of issues which cause this proposal to have a negative impact on the park & neighborhood: 1. There is no independent engineering report on the condition of the seawall — local knowledge indicates it is standing intact in the water, built according to techniques from 100 yrs ago, making it truly historic: gravity seawall {built like a pyramid in the days before plywood & steel). This should not be hidden away by sheetpile — instead a sign in park should explain & show the unusual construction. The cap on the seawall is the only aspect with signs of wear & tear. It should be replaced would not take a million dollars as this proposal plans to spend. Seawall should be carefully analyzed, gently repaired & preserved as a major piece of construction history in this area. Unfortunately, this didn't get presented to Historic Board so they did not know enough for the decision they had to make. 2. The passive park receives regular visits from 3 neighborhoods: Spring Garden, Overtown, & Brickell......ali embrace & find joy in the green grass & trees by the water. The kayak launch removes trees from the site ruining the view, & the launch ramp requires cutting a swath of our parkland away, destroying our lovely circular pathway — the park is so beautiful in photos from the River because of these features, which people have come to love over the decades. 3. The Middle River at this location is narrow & turns, making a stronger current as it comes thru 5th St Bridge & not safe for nonmotorized vessels due to Norseman Boatyard, Seybold traffic & the new huge tugs & ships which travel just along the park to set up for turning thru the bridge — unsafe for any but the most experienced. There are several other kayak launch locations in the Lower River where the River is wide & straight = safer. 4. Because this passive Point Park has no streetfront of its own, all arriving cars park in front of our homes. Two large homes are being added to this corner right now, so those families will be using even more of our street parking. Many park visitors arrive by car which we accommodate, but there is hardly space to attract a new group: athletes with kayaks — 20 yrs ago it was designated as a passive space, not an athletic space. 5. During Irma a wall of water came upriver & moved up Seybold, flooding homes by park. This kayak ramp now opens a pathway for a similar bigger wall of storm water to come upriver & right up into the park even the rock riprap allows for water intrusion. Neighbors feel the shoreline along the river should receive the sheetpile seawall, high, to prevent future high water events at the park. 6. Overtowners & Spring Gardeners rub shoulders in this park, share stories, & now are holding hands to nudge the soccer/concert arena to a larger, better location. Some feel this kayak launch idea is actually to create a place for a water taxi to deliver soccer fans & concert goers into Point Park every weekend to mingle along our homes as they move to & from their event. The County Mayor told Spring Garden residents he would "close -off" our neighborhood if the arena is built — a water taxi arriving to Point Park does not conform to his promise. 7. This was named Point Park (instead of for the Hewes brothers who sold the land to the Trust for Public Land). Now they want to chop off the Point itself! And despoil the lush park which we love, while spending a million to entomb an historic pyramid seawall which is standing proud on the calm waters of the canal for the last 100 yrs & this proposal endangers the novice kayakers by luring them to launch into a federal shipping lane. help!
