DEAR MAYOR AND COUNCIL ,MEMBERS. AT THE COUNCIL MEETING NOV 14TH THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE BBPARK IS ON THE AGENDA. I SPEAK FOR MYSELF AND THE FRIENDS OF BBP. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE HOURS THE STAFF HAVE SPENT ON THIS PLAN, AND FOR YOUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF IT. THE OVERWHELMING NEED IS FOR RANGER SUPERVISION OF THE PARK. A RANGER WOULD NOT ONLY SUPERVISE ,,,MAKING SURE REGULATIONS WERE ENFORCED BUT ALSO BE A PERSON TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PARK FROM PUBLIC USING IT. I AM IN FAVOR OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE REPORT. I SUPORT THE SMALL OUTSIDE GATHERING PLACE FOR GROUPS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE BENCHES . I DO NOT SUPORT: AN OFF LEASH DOG PARK. THE KAYAK BOAT LAUNCH WOULD PRESNT ONGOING DIFFICULTIES DUE TO THE TIDES AFFECTING THE WATER LEVEL IN THE SLOUGH. MODEL GLIDERS COULD BE A SAFETY RISK, DISTURB BIRD AND OTHER WILD LIFE,AND INTERFERE WITH PARK USERS WHO ARE WALKING,HIKING OR BIKING IN THE PARK. Menlo Park IS SQUEEZED BETWEEN FACEBOOK AND STANFORD . AS OUR COMMUNITY BECOMES MORE CONGESTED OPEN SPACE AVAILABLE FOR QUIET OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:WALKING HIKING BIKING BIRDWATCHING PHOTOGRAPHY AND JUST EXPLORING WILL BECOME MORE AMD MORE VALUABLE. I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO VALUE THE SPACE WE HAVE FOR PASSIVE RECREATION THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY ALL,SENIORS, FAMILIES AND ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE THANK YOU ANNE MOSER Received on Sat Nov 11 2017 - 16:07:35 PST
