Subject: North Broad Neighborhood Park Acquisition Funding Request
To all City Council Members,
Please add the voices of my family to the request for park funding of a neighborhood park for the
Anholm/Cerro San Luis Foothills area of town. We have a 6 year old son and 20 month old daughter.
Since we live on South Tassajara Drive, Throop park (connected to Pacheco School) is really the only
walkable park from our house. Crossing Foothill Blvd. can be really dangerous .... a place where
inattentive or impatient drivers intersect with our son pushing his bike/pulling a wagon/dropping his
soccer ball while I'm pushing a stroller. We had our son learn to ride his bike in the LDS parking lot
rather than risk crossing Foothill Blvd. I have also carried my son's bike half way home from Anholm
park simply because it is too far for little legs to pedal home. In fact we are intensive users of existing
parks throughout the city because it is often easier and safer to drive rather than walk to a park ... and
that's kind of a sad commentary. Please consider this funding request. It is long overdue.
