Letter to the Editor:

I’d like to offer a suggestion to the Eagle River City Council.

Now that the Seyfert family has consolidated its auto service business to Highway 17 — an honest, fair and reasonably priced auto repair service — might the city consider purchasing this property and converting it to a small park/green space with a shelter or gazebo-type structure and some benches?

I think this would enhance the visual presentation of the downtown area and offer an attractive area for shoppers to sit and relax while there. I think it would be a win-win project for the city and business owners.
