Letter: Keep the duck pond

I have looked at the proposed plan for the new shopping area where the old Pineland Station was on Hilton Head Island, and I do not see any provisions to replace the duck pond. It was an oasis on our island where people could come and sit on a hot day, or any day, and just enjoy the serenity of watching the ducks frolic.

The businesses around the pond also benefited from it as people would buy drinks or coffee or other food items. Isn’t there anything that can be done to get the developers to include this in their plans?
