Description
Every year for 7 weeks the enire south end of the waterfront and City, is blocked off for a one weekend event. Yes, 7 weeks for a 3 day event that generates an insane amount of noise and pollution, from sunrise to sunset. The Airport, The Dali Museum, Saturday Market, Albert Whitted Park and just plain enjoyable use of the waterfront for those of us who live in the City are all disrupted when the City sells out to Firestone Tire Company for the Grand Prix, formula 1, car race. Race cars on race tracks, not in our vibrant Dowtown!

However, the worse thing is the denied or limited access to properties along the track, including the Hilton Hotel, that would greatly delay the response times of emergency vehicles. A disaster and a lawsuit for the city. It's just a matter of when. I support canceling the contract for future events starting with 2020.
