LETTERS: No Home Depot, hotel, traffic congestion, for Sunrise Mall

Sentinel Staff Report–
The latest Letters to the Editor continue to discuss possible future uses for the Sunrise Mall property.

Sunrise Mall Renovation: Sunrise Mall is a decent name from decades ago. Although, I’d like to add my “two cents” of revising it to capture more attention as ” “Sunrise Family Affair Mall” or just keep the word “Sunrise” when developing takes place. Otherwise, I think, a hotel should NOT be built because the Mall is already surrounded by many apartments, etc. One thing we don’t need is “traffic congestion!!” Sunrise Mall should be strictly for families to come shop, enjoy entertainment including a movie theater, outdoor garden sitting spaces throughout the mall with shed attached Water Spritzers for hot days, few big stores, Macy’s definitely should return, maybe small “oldies-But-Goodies” stores return, or restaurants amidst retail stores, John’s Incredible Pizza fun center with a “Jump-N-Hoop” center, an outdoor center stage for live minor entertainment (Hawaiian dancers, etc, Just shop, Eat, & Fun for families/community to network etc.

Plans for Sunrise Mall: I don’t know Donna Brady, but she sounds like someone who should be part of Citrus Heights city management. Her comments on the Mall property are “spot on.” Good food, entertainment and a fun place to meet with friends is what we should be looking for. A definite place to go to and return to. No Home Depot; no Hotel; no Condos / Apartments.
