Lives three doors from the proposed park; wants the entrance off Manzanita, a 7-foot fence with landscaping as a sight/sound barrier, and worries about neighborhood parking overflow.

Lives directly across from the site; raised a long list of unanswered design questions — parking lot security, bathroom location, lighting, noise equipment placement — and warned approving without a site plan is 'buying a pig in a poke.'

Supports the park but wants a vehicle intrusion barrier given high-speed traffic on McAuliff, and play areas set back from the street.

Said it saddens her that planning a community park focuses first on fencing people out, including homeless residents; urged a more compassionate approach to public space.
