C
Thank you council for allowing me to address you through this email. It is dishearteningthat this a enda had
been placed this low. I am concerned that this may greatly limit its discussion. Fur di _ rovidence
Park master plan it seems to me has been rushed through with little regard to compliance with fe era
legislation. Case in point, the Lake/Overlook/Fishing deck appears without a ramp for wheelchair
accessibility. Regarding the paved trail, not only will this allow wheelchair use but also stroller use for
families, a clear dual function beneficial to many.
I understand how some may desire to leave the park without paved trails to keep it in its "natural
beauty." Understand also that the city is legally bound to maintain and uphold both the letter and spirit of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, 1990. I trust council will preserve this ADA mandate and so welcome
Providence Park to ALL of our community, people with disabilities included.
Most sincerely,
