Sedona staff has already contacted our representative, Matt Ryan, to hit them up for money. They are using the excuse that it will also help ease traffic and parking problems in Oak Creek Canyon. Well, THAT is NOT a Sedona City issue. And to attempt taking it on as an excuse for funding from our county property taxes is outrageous.

Open up your eyes people. During this critical time of COVID pandemic the connivers at city hall remain vigilant. Ever the opportunists? If you think “Yes” then contact Matt Ryan and tell him “NO” to Coconino County taxes being contributed to this blight on Sedona. Do it NOW. Tomorrow might be too late.

In a coronavirus year or two, no building is being undertaking anyplace catering to travel and never anything directed to cars, planes, cruising, trains, parking, or transportation. Even football can’t fill stadiums, ask for no visitors who are sick. Build a medical center, not an eyesore.

However doesn’t it seem reasonable to consider that whatever happens in the Village of Oak Creek or incorporated Sedona (and surrounding areas) clearly affects the quality of life for all concerned?

Once City of Sedona proceeds with the grand scheme to extend Forest Road (location of proposed multi-story parking structure) to connect with W89 from the Y roundabout, and further to provide extensive shuttle transportation for locals and visitors, those remaining here in Sedona, residents as well as visitors, will make the final decision about whether or not it was a wise decision. Can you just imagine people giving up their cars? How many times has that idea been attempted and failed?

And what about proposed property purchase by City of Sedona in the VOC to park Sedona tourists and shuttle them into “the city?”

In the meantime let’s not forget this current city manager who took it upon himself to extend the hotly disputed contract with the chamber of commerce for eight years. (That chamber of commerce has gone on record that quite possibly the majority of their dues paying members are NOT within Sedona City Limits and do NOT contribute to city tax revenue.)

City Manager’s multi-millions of dollars chamber contract action occurred without opportunity for public participation, feedback, and/or council approval. If you wonder what abuse of authority means, might this be considered a vivid example?

And remember, please, the C of C holds the deed to that property on Jordan Road purchased also allegedly for a parking facility with funds from guess where? City of Sedona!

We presently have new members on the Sedona City Council and all we can hope for is that they are paying attention to this highly questionable chain of command relating to catering to the special interests of certain people pulling strings at city hall. And maybe – just maybe – the “Villagers” might appreciate a heads up to these Sedona activities and avoid a repeat performance out there?

Of course, the above article is from a year ago. What has changed, if anything?

Do you people just spout crap to feel better or just love to lie?

For the record from the street it will be 2 stories and 1 underground.

And for the fools who have never seen a parking garage that means the top level has no roof, and the sides arnt as tall as the roof next door!

But keep lighting your hair on fire making things up!
