Three years ago when my wife and I retired and <br />moved back to Elk River we put a lot of thought, love, and money into building our house at 27 <br />Morton Ave. NW, Elk River. This was after living at many locations around the world. The <br />reason; the peace and tranquility of the location we chose with nature in our back yard, and <br />"Historic Downtown Elk River" three blocks away. "Historc Downtown Elk River" is now pretty <br />well gone, replaced by what we all hope will be an accepable alternative. There is no acceptable <br />alternative to the peace and tranquility of the nature in our back yard. The deer, eagles, and <br />other wildlife there would be replaced by people and their accomanying noise and litter. <br />There are enough parks for people in the area, lets leave some space for the wildlife. We are less <br />affected by this plan than those who live right on the river where the proposed path would go <br />between their front windows and the river. How would you like a path going right through your <br />front yard? If there is a need for development along the river, please do it where you are not <br />robbing the property owners of their reason for building there. <br /> <br />Neil and Delia Anderson <br /> <br />7/24/2007 <br />
