Hello City of San Bernardino,
I have been a resident of San Bernardino for 30+ years. I dream of the revitalization of
Downtown San Bernardino, the potential and history is incredible. Like many other residents,
we all have fond memories of the Carousel Mall and Downtown. I would like to urge
developers to please help revitalize downtown in a way that is sustainable and tasteful (unlike
the hideous retail development that is across from the SB Trainstation). Other Downtowns in
the area are thriving of mixed land-use, that combines housing with retail, and the preservation
of historical buildings that have character (please restore the Harris Building). If you need
residents on any type of Revitalization Committee, I would love to be able to use my expertise
and urban planning passion to use.
Sincerely,
Denis Paul Charbonneau
