Every day people make decisions on where to live and work based on proximity to public lands, which they see as reliable places for fun, comfort, and rest. People expect that these places will always be there for them. The city of Santa Fe has an obligation to protect our limited public space.

Subject: Cody Road Resident and Concerned Wildlife Preservation Citizen
To:
Sir,
I visited the website seeking someone to speak with in regards to the tragic loss of the lake called Optimist Lake in Mobile, AL. I saw the project listed below with your contact information and wanted to reach out to you to gain knowledge on options for homeowners on the Lake and or Mobile County and of the City of Mobile.
I am attaching a pdf file for the historical information on Lake Optimist. I have sent this along with multiple files as support documents with a request to the County Commissioner district 3 - Comm. Dueitt for his help. I have been involved with the County Commission on several projects in the past and hope that my business relationship with the county will aid in my solution for the property surrounding the lake and the Wildlife at stake dying today and yesterday. The lake dam and concrete spillway caved in on Monday August 30, and the entire lake drained away and fish and wildlife parrished. It is a tragedy, Sir.
I work for the Dept of the AF, AFRC HQ,Civil Engineering Federal Facilities, as an Interior Designer Review Specialist, and am in hope, that a grant and or the USACE can assist with the rebuilding of the Dam and prevent the City and the County pollution of dumping runoff water from Commercial Development to this Lake. There has been much debate on the responsible party for the Lake's maintenance and or it's preservation, but no resolution has been fruitful.
No matter where the Lake started (early 1900's) or how the Dam was built and or patched, the Preservation of its wildlife is at stake, and it is heartbreaking. Please review my pdf file and watch the YOUTUBE videos. According to the Website, you reside in Mobile, AL and may know of this situation. Please feel free to contact me for further information in my efforts and plea for help in this matter.

JILL supported: Urge the Mobile, AL City Council to Allow Us to Repair Our Community Park at Optimist LakeI live in this area, there is already plenty of high rise buildings, yet little infrastructure to support it. As a European immigrant I’m used to high rise buildings, but people here only like to drive. Higher density in this particular area can only be negative, there are zero positive effects to this.
Milan supported: Stop Overdevelopment (2600 units) in Trafalgar/ Glenashton area in OakvilleAs a frequent visitor of Kauai and with family on the island, these markets are one of my favorite things to do when we’re there. These markets help bring tourists to Princeville and help the local economy for the participating vendors AND Princeville’s brick and mortars. The traffic issues are minimal especially when you look at other areas of the island like Kapaa. This is a positive use of the park as it brings a sense of community, which is what a park should do. The few voices that are opposed to the market are selfish and do not reflect the majority of the island residents and they also do not realize the good this market is actually doing for their business by bringing tourists to their brick and mortar.
Krystle supported: Support Kauai's Local Farmers and Artisans of the Princeville Farmers and Artist MarketI lived on Kaua’i for five years and owned a small restaurant for three of those years. Connecting with local vendors and growers is so valuable and the farmers markets were instrumental in networking with and building relationships with local producers. Through them, I was able to vastly increase the amount of locally produced food in my restaurant and feel more connected to the Aina. Please keep the farmers markets of Kaua’i strong and vital.
Jeremiah supported: Support Kauai's Local Farmers and Artisans of the Princeville Farmers and Artist MarketEvery community can benefit from supporting local artisans and small business owners. Desirea has always spoken so highly of the community and culture that these markets have helped highlight. To prevent these markets would be a disservice to the local community and would only go to show how little you care for local small business and the Aloha culture. The very existence of such events is a cornerstone in many communities and people look forward to supporting others, shopping local or unique items and reconnecting with friends and family in a beautiful venue. Please continue to give your island the love and community that it deserves with a small meaningful connection to those who find joy in lending to support each other.
Brittany supported: Support Kauai's Local Farmers and Artisans of the Princeville Farmers and Artist MarketAs someone who visits all four islands regularly for work, Kauai is a beautiful and peaceful place for me to simply relax. I've attended this market and know how much it means to the locals. A resolution must be found to continue it, and the majority of locals support its continuation. I add my voice to this call and know that positivity will prevail over the few who wish to stop the market.
Erik supported: Support Kauai's Local Farmers and Artisans of the Princeville Farmers and Artist MarketThe Farmers Market draws a great mix of locals and tourists as well always happy faces including my wife and I. I met and visited with David Crosby our last time there. He is gone now but saw him in concert back in California the next year before he passed.
Keep the market open as a place to share aloha!!
Susan supported: Support Kauai's Local Farmers and Artisans of the Princeville Farmers and Artist Marketfarmers markets like these are what keep local artists alive as we face such difficult economic conditions. support artists. support local.
Mia supported: Support Kauai's Local Farmers and Artisans of the Princeville Farmers and Artist MarketThe Aloha of Kaua’i is indeed dwindling down.. To shut down yet another place where we are able to get together with community and visitors and share smiles and local produce, arts, and foods, would be another sad example of that.
Consider others needs above my own is how I live out Aloha.. I hope you will continue the Farmers market for years to come. I so enjoy it!
