William E. Zagotta, Livermore I believe that the mammoth âGrothâ buildings facing L St plus the two mammoth new affordable-housing buildings proposed for the 8.5 acres in the new Downtown Plan will be incompatible with the character of our recently upgraded Livermore Downtown. The purpose of this letter is to urge changes to the new Downtown Plan by moving the affordable housing to the north side of Railroad Ave. The changed new Downtown Plan would be (more or less) as envisioned by past City Councils. It also could permit an increase in the amount of affordable housing in the plan. It would permit a larger Public Park. The previous Councils did not plan for the Public Park, but they would have if they thought of it.
