The illegal parking lot in Lafayette Park is a huge free benefit, but an economic loss of 10,s of $1,000's of parking fees. The most important issue is the land is heavily polluted, and the use is in violation of DEP, Plus the legal liability of the City allowing use and occupancy. If the park is not completed by next summer, there will be a public demand the area be a public parking lot. That will trigger Federal, State and County problems that will explode in the City's face.
