To the editor:

Starting with Jaycee Park, I would ask the council to do a survey and they would find that around 90% of the citizens do not know where the park is and many would not use it because it is not in a central location. Who would want to drive in our Atlanta-like traffic to take a walk or have a picnic? Because of these facts there should not be a parking problem with the exception of the few special events during the year.

Regarding J. Capin’s letter to the editor, you my friend are right on. The band shell design was very interesting. I concur with what J. Capin said and would like to voice my opposition to cutting down those wonderful shade trees. Leave them alone.

Now let’s talk about the council and the mayor. After attending a scheduled meeting I felt it is only a one-way street. Citizens voice their opinions with zero feedback from the council. Oh, and congratulations goes to Mayor Gunter for the award for keeping the state legislature out of local affairs, especially when doubling salaries!

The article regarding the CRA long-term capital projects states that there are not enough funds to accomplish the wish list in the short term. Well, why not take funds from us folks just like you are doing for the $12 million for Jaycee Park and the tens of millions for the Yacht Club? We could buy the golf course with the same bucket of funds.
