Public debate over Council and Mayor on Community Park plan
A reader letter criticizes the Council and Mayor for backing a Community Forest approach. The writer urges excluding the park area from any Forest designation, cites logging threats near trails, questions secrecy in process, and notes 97 percent petition support for park exclusion. The letter calls for delaying the Community Forest decision until proper public consultation occurs.
