I have visited this area before and walked through the current construction today.
Unless there is good and unselfish reason to contend against this well established community project they’ve been a unique and value add to Greensboro over a decade. What good reason is there it should not be supported? I doubt there is.
Respectfully William Styers
William supported: Preserve Black Diamond Backyard from Mindless DevelopmentMaintaining traditional common names for birds, such as the Blue-footed Booby and Bushtit, as well as eponyms like Wilson's Warbler or Audubon's Shearwater, preserves cultural, historical, and scientific continuity. These names often carry unique stories or historical significance that connect people to nature and the history of ornithology. Changing names risks confusing both the scientific community and the public, disrupting long-standing educational materials and conservation efforts. While inclusivity and sensitivity are crucial in naming practices, careful consideration should balance these values with the need for consistency, historical context, and the emotional resonance that familiar names inspire in fostering a connection to wildlife.
Jonah supported: Mitts off our Tits and Boobies!The lake at Belmar Park is the reason I’ve continued to live in this neighborhood for years. This area is a unique and crucially important sanctuary for so many birds and other species of wildlife that are already under threat from human habitat destruction. Unchecked development, loss of trees, and construction pollution in this area would be devastating to this community and the wildlife we love.
Lee supported: Protect Wildlife in Lakewood, CO via Buffer ZonesI've been a Lakewood resident for 29 years, it's so sad this development is threatening an area that was donated to the city by Mrs. Boechetter. Developers can find a way to do this without disturbing a park that was there long before their new apartments
jj supported: Protect Wildlife in Lakewood, CO via Buffer ZonesI Have taken my son here since he was a baby. It’s awful to see how much of Colorado’s open space is being destroyed by developers.
Amber supported: Protect Wildlife in Lakewood, CO via Buffer ZonesIt is our responsibility to protect the planet that we've colonized and already irreparably damaged. Construction of luxury, unaffordable housing at the expense of the environment is unconscionable. "Profit-over-all" development is a scourge of lazy, greedy, owner class leeches that cuts corners and ignores the value of green space and environmentally integrated and conscious architecture brings to communities and the environment. The city and state should not be green lighting projects like this without well developed plans and assurances for conservation
Campbell supported: Protect Wildlife in Lakewood, CO via Buffer ZonesDevelopers shouldn't be able to buy their way out of doing the right thing for wildlife. City council members should disclose any ties they might have to any project or development. Tired of regular citizens being taken out of all choices.
The song was right. " They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot."
Karen supported: Protect Wildlife in Lakewood, CO via Buffer ZonesBelmar Park is an oasis of nature in the city. A luxury apartment complex will ruin this treasure of a park. I am a photographer and I love bringing my camera to this park to photograph the numerous animal species that call this park home. Please do not destroy this beautiful park. We don't need more luxury apartments anyway we need affordable housing in Colorado! And we need to care for nature!
Alexandra supported: Protect Wildlife in Lakewood, CO via Buffer ZonesThese lakes provide critical habitat to many species of wildlife which would suffer greatly, and the park itself would be much worse with some huge apartments next to it. Plus it's not even affordable housing? Denver does not need another luxury apartment building! Protect wildlife and support the people who are actually in need of housing.
