B,C, and D serve an aesthetic purpose, and I think it would be bad to fill those in. Why not open up public harborwalk access to the water by A (on the PO side) instead of filling it in? Or move the post office somewhere else?", "timestamp": "1393207876"}, {"author": "Charvak", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/649514405802?comment_id=717364348972", "anchor": "fb-717364348972", "service": "fb", "text": "Wouldn't it be easier to develop those parking lots into multi-story constructions before filling in the water? It's funny that my argument goes:
- If the water is surrounded by high-rises, you keep it for the view.
- If the water is surrounded by unused land, you leave it because it's a low-value area.
Maybe it's good to have green and blue spaces in an urban environment.
You're right that few would miss the view, because there's usually no one there enjoying the water. But they did put in a nice new dock alongside A that's great for those who know about it.", "timestamp": "1428460795"}, {"author": "J.F.", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/649514405802?comment_id=781916485972", "anchor": "fb-781916485972", "service": "fb", "text": "The Channel serves an industrial purpose, it is vital to Gillette and is an outlet for a buries stream call the Bass River.", "timestamp": "1461175586"}]}
