There's already a blacktop trail <br />behind the homes on Wilson. That trail should connect to the future parks. How are bikes, <br />rollerbladers, and strollers able to make their way along wood chips? They can't. The wood chip idea <br />is clearly a way to reduce traffic along the trails. <br /> <br />Regarding the concept that you can't see the park from the road... Great! When I'm at a park I don't <br />like to be reminded of traffic. Part of the city's job is to monitor the park anyway. Again this is <br />another lame reason from someone who doesn't want the park near his home. <br /> <br />I do have a suggestion: Put in a tennis court in addition to, or in place of the basketball court. Just <br />about every home now days has their own basketball hoop, most kids can get by just playing in their <br />own driveway. But tennis is different - you need a court to play. Plus the people attracted to a tennis <br />court are generally young and old, unlike a basketball court, which would mostly be a teen hangout, <br />which could lead to more unwanted activity, just an idea. To respect those living behind or near the <br />park, the tennis courts would not have lights to play at night, although that would be cool. <br /> <br />Please keep me informed of any new meetings regarding this park. Thanks. <br /> <br />John Dailey, 11046 1 96th Lane <br /> <br />Do you Yahoo!? <br />Yahoo! Shopping - Send Flowers for Valentine's Day <br /> <br />2/14/2003 <br />
