I work at Spenglar's outside gardening and I can tell you that everyone ( and their dog or dogs) uses the Alhambra to walk and the view is priceless. There is fresh air, birds singing and lot of commerce. People come to Spenglar's picnic tables to eat, talk, and be. It's like a park. The new RV park and that huge parking lot by the Harbor is enough clutter. If you want people to come here to eat and spend money, why destroy the very reason why they like to come here?
Shirley supported: Petition: NO PARKING LOT on the North Burnham Strip20 + years of living here, has been so relaxing not living in the city. It’s ashamed that people want to take away the natural beauty sounded our beaches, and try to make it into some fancy town. Love living here with the way our community has been. No changes need to be made. Other than support for what the people in this community are asking for. And it’s not taking away the open free lands for the wildlife, leave the natural surrounding lands. . making a big parking lot for people to park in is not what we the community wants.
Patricia supported: Petition: NO PARKING LOT on the North Burnham StripPlease don't pave paradise! This land should be a park, not a parking lot. The park could have native plants that support other species and inspire ours.
kristin supported: Petition: NO PARKING LOT on the North Burnham StripMorrison park is a fantastic spot! It's within walking distance for me and my 5 kids under 6. Having a place to let them run their energy out is vital and is a great asset to the community.
Sabrina supported: Petition to Preserve and Revitalize Morrison Park, Shelbyville, IndianaAs a junior at Miami University, I could not imagine student life without cool field. I have played intramural sorts there with my friends and have created friends there. My first career fair as a freshman was there. As a result I became more involved on campus. If cook field were not there, I would not be the same person I am today!
Aiden supported: Preserve Cook Field at Miami University of Ohio from Basketball Stadium ConversionAs someone who grew up in Oxford my mom would take me to Cook Field all the time to play around or to just look at the open scenery around campus. While i understand that Millet needs to be remodeled also take into account the many different groups effected by this change. This isn’t just a choice to make everything more central on campus your making the decision to remove countless memories, take away a practice spot for recreational sports, lessen the choice for students to sit outside on a nice day.
Faith supported: Preserve Cook Field at Miami University of Ohio from Basketball Stadium ConversionI've lived in Oxford for 20 years. It's a beautiful town, and the university is one of the prettiest in the nation. Sometimes that requires decision making that places preservation ahead of growth. This is one of those times. My very first time driving into town was on Rt 73, and the grandeur of this recreational space provided a wonderful first impression with regard to the university and the town. There are few better things about returning to town after being away visiting family on the East coast than driving past the field and seeing dozens of young people enjoying the space on a sunny day. I'm totally open to the idea that Miami needs a new arena, I just don't understand why it has to be here. I'm totally unconvinced by the argument that having it more centrally located (is Cook Field really central, it's on the edge of campus right?) will determine its success. It makes far more sense to build the new arena in the parking lot next to Millett Hall, eventually tear down Millett, put in more geothermal, ideally build a parking garage to vertically fit in cars and preserve more green space for additional recreation. This would keep the football and basketball facilities co-located, and could also be home to the new campus hotel (providing a much better location for alums coming into town for games at either facility, while remaining convenient to campus and the Mile Square). Quite simply, this is the wrong decision. I hope that the university will see that and come up with a better plan.
Thor supported: Preserve Cook Field at Miami University of Ohio from Basketball Stadium ConversionAs a Miami Alumni that lived next to both Cook field and Millet stadium, I think the decision to turn Cook field into a stadium as well would hurt Miami's community greatly. A stadium is loud and brings traffic, both of which would impact students trying to get to and from classrooms and dorms. Additionally, many events and groups rely on Cook field being a flat open space, like the military for training and extracurricular sports clubs. Adding another stadium would more drastically hurt than help, and the money used for this project could be better spent elsewhere, like parking lots or the humanities.
Olivia supported: Preserve Cook Field at Miami University of Ohio from Basketball Stadium ConversionGreen space is very valuable to students and it is clear many of us would like to preserve places on campus that can be for relaxation and help bring community together .
Sophia supported: Preserve Cook Field at Miami University of Ohio from Basketball Stadium ConversionKnowing that attendance at events isn’t warranting a new stadium at the expense of one of the few green spaces we have for sports is so frustrating and invalidating of the student body.
