Dear Editor:

Why not turn the old and unused Given Institute building into the new Aspen Art Museum? Not only would we avoid one of the most horrific-looking monster buildings ever to be considered in the core downtown, but we’d have plenty of room to expand and/or redevelop a structure we already have.

Why not put in stop signs at the corner of Cooper and Monarch? With literally hundreds of tourist families trying to hump it into Wagner Park, why wait for someone to be injured or killed first?

Thank you for taking one or both of these suggestions under consideration.

Tracy Wynn
