Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources. Learn more] Dear San Jose City Council,
Save and protect our parks, both current and planned, plus public golf courses used by seniors and children.
Please save any remaining golf courses in San Jose t0 be used by the public for outdoor enjoyment. I cringe every time I see another building being bought and turned into high density. Doing that to green open park land or existing recreational sites is a tragedy. Why do people that have been here all their lives continue to leave. Its because we or they are pushed out by outside people and we can't afford it and are like we don't exist and belong. Also San Jose is just becoming cement everywhere. We need open space and park land to grow not decrease.
Support chartered parks and include protection for parks not yet developed due to lack of funding. There are planned park sites that are still awaiting funding.
Our public lands currently used as recreational golf spaces used by children and seniors must also be protected. Protect this public opportunity.
To this end, please ensure the following lands are protected:
1. The City owns the land (fee title) or has unrestricted access through an easement in perpetuity, and a. The land has been (or is planned to be) improved with recreational or park amenities, whether passive or active, AND/OR
b. The land is (or is planned to be) open to the public for public park purposes.
2. The land is currently used as a public golf course.
Please also direct staff to plan for any necessary Charter amendments necessary to fully accomplish this.
Protect Our Parks.
Sincerely,
S Orth
