To the editor:

I was at Jaycee Park on Sunday, March 3, and saw with joy and satisfaction that the park was full of people at 10 in the morning. AA was meeting, families were at the playgrounds with their children, many people were walking, with or without dogs, and ALL parking places were taken.

The city plans to install a bar/restaurant at the end of the park where most of the people were enjoying the river view. Where will these people park when the bar is open?

There is an unsolicited bid to pay for city-planned commercialization of this little 8-acre park, (A resident had the Park surveyed), and a Public Records request to find out the identity of the bidder has been rebuffed by the city.

Bids were closed Jan. 26. Residents were promised a public input meeting at 30% completion of the project and we await a date and location.

Please sign a petition, or a referendum to put Jaycee Park on the November ballot to Save the Park by coming to Jaycee Park any Saturday, 10:30 to noon, by the North Shelter to pick up a petition or referendum.
