Letter: Don’t Build a New Road Through Waveny
|
The recent recommendation floated to build a new road through Waveny Park runs counter to the intent of creation of the Park and its still ongoing even greater necessity in protection of that covenant. The increased development nearby since Waveny’s creation reinforces the need for open space to counterbalance that development. The public will has already established by way of referendum, under a previous threat of development, the need to preserve Waveny as a park. In addition to Waveny’s structured recreational uses, Waveny serves as a sanctuary to the body, mind and spirit in the natural or passive open space areas that are used by large numbers of people daily. As a natural area there are manifold reasons not to fragment the valuable natural areas of the park.
