<br />... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />highway, W-470 or open space. Since I moved on <br />this property we put on three lakes. We have a <br />quite a few birds that come in each year. There <br />isn't anyone more for open space than I am. If <br />everyone in this county would have spent as much <br />money has I have on open space to improve it they <br />wouldn't have to designate open space, it would be <br />there. <br /> <br />Rocky Haight, 10925 Dillon, Broomfield, Colorado. <br /> <br />Haight: I was told by a County official this parkway was <br />designed to avoid the opposition, is wasn't <br />necessarily going to be a good route. I think <br />this is a terrible way to design a highway. I <br />don't believe this is going to be a parkway. If <br />they start to build this thing you are going to be <br />scrambling for state and federal money. This <br />route is going to be used for everything. If <br />everyone thinks this is going to be a nice little <br />parkway, I bet you're wrong on it. You want to <br />keep the cost down, yet they pick out Dillon Road <br />which is probably the most expense land they could <br />buy. You are going to have to put double service <br />roads on each side of the parkway. They have <br />money in the budget for landscaping the new road, <br />Dillon Road is already landscaped. We have 100 <br />year old trees along there. Leave Dillon Road <br />there for the landscape and cut a new road through <br />the open space. Neumann's lake is something to <br />consider. If the Commissioners want a highway <br />they better start considering open space instead <br />of the homes of the residents that vote that live <br />on Dillon Road. <br /> <br />Elmer crider, 9355 Paradise Dr., Broomfield, Colorado <br /> <br />Crider: I am opposed to the route going down South 96th <br />and Dillon Road. Strongly opposed to that. If <br />that proposed route goes through it will force <br />relocation on a lot of families, where as the <br />southeastern route goes through empty land. <br />Families are a part of the county too. We pay the <br />taxes, the land doesn't. Which is going to become <br />a more important consideration, the families, big <br />business interest, or empty open space? Only a <br />small portion of open space will be used, but all <br />of someone's house will go. That may not be <br />important to you, but please try to think of these <br />families. They are people, people who love their <br />homes and locations, who pay taxes, who elected <br />County Officials. If elected officials put more <br />priority on land than on people things are in a <br />sorry mess. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7 <br />
