Crocker Avenue Proposal

An 18-year Cinx Avenue resident; argued the Crocker/Hayward Park strip is unsuitable — her neighbor's yard is the east boundary, it's a deer fawning corridor, and dogs and deer don't mix; also opposed closing Crocker Avenue, a well-used trail link.

Lifetime resident, parent, and former youth coach; neutral on dog/skate parks but concerned about the Crocker site — no water, restrooms, or parking, police/fire access through the corridor, wildlife, and unsafe drop-offs for middle-school skaters.

Spoke as a resident and dog park supporter (no dog himself); said a thoughtfully designed dog park plus kids' bike/skate area would beat the underused Hayward Park, boost community connection and the local economy, and urged people to offer alternatives and pitch in.

Returned to urge the board to visit the site in person before agreeing to anything, stressing the fence line literally touches a house's yard and residents can't just move.
