GATES CIRCLE UNDER ATTACK-------AGAIN!
STOP UNILAND FROM BUILDING A HIGH RISE ON GATES CIRCLE.
We, the undersigned citizens, voters and taxpayers of Buffalo, New York, adamantly oppose the construction of a high rise building on Gates Circle.
Uniland Development Co. proposes to build a high rise building on the site of the Park Lane Restaurant.
Gates circle is a monumental part of the historic landmark Frederick Law Olmstead Park and Parkway System.The size and scale of a high rise building directly on Gates Circle would deliberately compromise the original vision and plan of Frederick Law Olmstead. For years, the citizens of Buffalo have labored tirelessly to restore the Olmstead Parks and Parkways to their original splendor. The efforts and financial commitment of these volunteers are unparalled. The addition of a high rise building jammed into a small site bordering the Circle would seriously reduce the openess, light and air surrounding the Circle. The ambiance, beauty and integrity of the original design would be destroyed. The already busy traffic around Gates Circle would worsen. Numerous residences in adjacent buildings would lose their light, air and view.
If we do not protect our nationally recognized architectural heritage and pay greater attention to our history, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
