Subject: I have sent you a link to view on effects of nighttime activities on wildlife -No to opening up Open Space Trails at
nighttime
Dear Council Members,
I am sending you this last letter in response to Mayor Heidi Harmon stating she couldn't find any real data to
support that nighttime activity by humans is detrimental. I found a link that I am sending you all below to look
at regarding animal behavior and activity. I don't think you will find much out there right now in regards to
opening up open space trails at nighttime and the effects it has on wildlife because it is just beginning to be
studied, this is a new activity. I think in the next 2-5 years we will have more evidence to state that it does harm
our native wildlife.
