Letter of the Day: The right vision

Editor, Daily News:

John Spear in his guest commentary (June 5) expresses his feelings and vision for Old 41 very elegantly. Our Bonita Springs City Council was elected to their districts to carry out the will of their constituents, not to dictate what they think is best for them.

Three cheers and more to council member Ben Nelson, who has stuck to his guns and stayed the course and will vote for the Imperial Landing project. He is standing up for the people in his district.

We have lived here for 11 years now, and my husband was one of the citizens who worked long and hard for the incorporation of Bonita Springs. We want it to become the Shining Gem of Southwest Florida.

Mega-dittos to Lori Nelson, for forming a group in favor of the construction of Imperial Village. The vision of the Antaramian Group speaks of its quality and success.

As mentioned by John, our many community leaders, some of whom have now passed on, have also had this vision of beautification and revitalization of the Old 41 Road corridor. I know they are doing their part.

Let me take a moment to remember Ralph Richardson, Pat Lord and Chuck Temple and to encourage Rex Sims, Al Greenwood and Jacob Hammerle to continue to fight the good fight.
