These development plans -- including a contemporary art museum, a hotel, and an expansion of the movie theater -- should be rejected for the following reasons:

• These proposals will permanently damage the Bay Area's most significant historic site, the "Plymouth Rock of the West." The area of the Main Post has witnessed Native American settlements, the founding of a Spanish fort in 1776, and the presence of a U.S. Army base from 1848 to 1994.
• The urbanization of the Presidio is inconsistent with the vision contained in the main legal documents that govern how the Presidio should be managed.
• The proposed development plans will produce a substantial increase in traffic within the Presidio and in the surrounding neighborhoods. According to the Presidio Trust's own analysis, the new development would increase visitors to the Main Post from about 650 thousand at present to more than 2 million people. The overwhelming traffic load would harm both the neighborhoods and the Presidio.

The Presidio Trust's public comment period will end on April 27.
