To : City officials of Alexandria Bay I have been coming to the 1000 Islands for most of my 59 years. I really do love the Islands. I would like nothing more than to see Alexandria Bay get cleaned up. Is there anyway the State could help with some of the Federal funds they have received. I would like to suggest the following. 1st - Public Rest Rooms - The public rest rooms at the Upper James Street dock really need to be renovated. The one’s at Clayton are much more nicer and are bigger. With multiple people in my family it takes a lot out of our vacation time, when we have to stop at the bathrooms in Alex Bay. There are not enough stalls for us to use at the same time and the bathroom at Clayton tends to be cleaner. 2nd - The Old Home Stead Restaurant - The property is dilapidated and has been a real eye sore for many years. Can something be done to bring the property back to it’s former self? 3rd - Docking.- Why can’t the large boats be rafted? Does it really make any sense for one boat to tie up so much space? Boats that are rafting would split the fee and free up dock space. I have an idea for small floating docks that would go in between the boats that are staying for a long time. No need for the people on the outer boat to walk across the inner boat, They would use the floating dock. More public docking should be added. Some such places include: on the river at the park and the lower side of the bay. Lengthen the James Street dock would also allow for additional docking. Thank for your time.
