In this week’s Out South Florida - online and on stands now, I dive into the comments section on the Wilton Hotel and Pool Club, and opinion in the city isn’t as Kum-by-ya and unanimous as some would think. Most agree it’s needed. Opinions diverge when it comes to neighborhood impact. Dixie Highway is still only two lanes at the site, and the road quickly backs up when Five Points is congested, especially when a train is coming by. Some say those are just hiccups and there is no traffic on Dixie. Queer News Tonight contributor Glen Weinzimer disagrees, saying, “There is plenty of traffic on Dixie and Five Points with one lane in each direction. Someone stops to make a turn and everything backs up. People cut through the CVS to avoid Five Points.” Others, like westside resident Jake Valentine, says he’s seen this all before and disaster didn’t follow. “It is all so reminiscent of when Wilton Station was proposed and being built and the doom and gloom and traffic that was going to destroy Five Points and Wilton Manors as we know it. No one is ‘entitled’ to a view or current status of property you don't own. Remember that everyone who lives here lives on a plot of land that was developed!” The hotel plans are still under heavy scrutiny and reviewed, and community debate will continue in official meetings and in chatrooms. Out South Florida will continue to follow all new Developments.
