I have done my research into the competing parks measures. 3-568 (citizens’ initiative) was written with the full and clear intent to protect our parks without the influence of corporate development and the Springbrook Park tennis center.
3-575 (city Council initiative) was written late, quickly and is coming from insiders’ interest that allows expansion of development, cell towers and other items that don’t protect our natural parks.
It’s easy to see if you compare – Vote Yes and No
Yes on 3-568 (citizens initiative)
No on 3-575 (city council initiative)
