I oppose developing the proposed baseball fields in this location. The removal of approximately 50 trees, with the accompanying destruction of this wonderful wildlife corridor, would be a tremendous loss of habitat for the birds, insects, and other animals that live there. We, the community members who picnic here, the PUBLIC, would be supplanted by seasonal participants in organized leagues, and the community-at-large would lose this valuable open space in favor of what would effectively be private occupation on a part time basis. The area would be locked behind chain link fence much, if not most, of the time, just like Pote Field is today. Please consider the Ferraro Soccer Field area as a superior alternative.
