As residents of Rochester, MN, we cherish the natural beauty and wildlife that our neighborhood provides. A local spot, where neighborhood dogs frolic and children play during warmer months, is under threat from a proposed condominium development. This area is not just a piece of land; it's an integral part of our community fabric and serves as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife.

Here is the direct link to the proposed development.  https://aca.rochestermn.gov/CitizenAccess/Cap/CapDetail.aspx?Module=CommunityDev&TabName=CommunityDev&capID1=23R01&capID2=00000&capID3=12636&agencyCode=ROCHESTER&IsToShowInspection=

According to the National Wildlife Federation, urban green spaces are crucial habitats for many species and play an essential role in maintaining biodiversity within cities. The loss of these spaces due to urban development can have significant impacts on local ecosystems.

We understand the need for housing developments but believe there must be balance with preserving nature. We urge city officials to reconsider this project or find alternative locations that won't disrupt our cherished green space. By signing this petition, you are standing up for both our community's quality of life and the preservation of vital habitats for wildlife in Rochester.

Please sign this petition today to protect our beloved neighborhood spot from being transformed into yet another condominium complex!
