Don’t judge Bella Terra too soon

As a 26-year resident of Huntington Beach, I’m excited about Bella Terra. I’m sorry about the experience Skip Pedigo had when trying to park there (“Sounding off,” Jan. 12). However, I think he (and others) needs to think this through.

First of all, I don’t expect perfect conditions when parking at a place that is under construction. It’s not fair to make a judgment against Bella Terra until it is completed.

Second, there is a large parking structure located near the back of Bella Terra that can be reached without ever going through the construction area.

Behind Bella Terra is Center Avenue, which can be reached by going up Gothard to Center and turning right. The parking structure can’t be missed. People should not give up on shopping in Huntington Beach and Bella Terra. When finished, it’s going to be fantastic.
