The income from tourism is all well and good plus, pushing to put Sarasota on the map, but there is absolutely no mention of the impact this could cause on the environment. This will bring a greater influx of tourists, meaning more traffic, more air pollution from vehicles, and more trash and littering. And all of this is the result of what it will take to build the rowing site. With the extension of Cattleman Road, how many trees will have to be removed? How much land will this require? How many inhabited areas will this affect? Home surround the end of Cattleman Road and line the lake. Will these have to be removed to provide an observation area?

The Rowing site is a good idea economically, but everything environmentally is being forgotten about.
