Subject: Lights at Easy Street Park
Hi Joanne:
Sending you this e-mail regarding the night lights at this park, I am against it, the reason is that right now there are enough activities with a lot of youngsters
running around chasing ducks and also during the day as well, kayaking at the lake, swimming etc,etc., if lights install there wit be more noise and activities. I
was jumped on by a huge dog at 8:30pm, the lady had her dog unleached, she was talking on her mobile phone for an hour, repoorted this to the police, this
area has limited police on patrol to enforce any unwanted noise or activities, so I am against it.
