Isberg Rec ARea
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 7:33 am
I had thought this was a done deal, but once again it seems that the motorized community may get the shaft.
Please submit an email to supported "No Changes" to the master plan:
assembly@co.fairbanks.ak.us
jhaas@co.fairbanks.ak.us
thancock@co.fairbanks.ak.us
What I submitted ......
I have recently read an email stating that some folks have issue with the design of the Isberg Rec Area parking lot.
Why is it that certain folks wait until the 11th hour of the 11th day to submit their concerns and desired changes. The Isberg Rec Area has been under consideration and design for sometime now and was, or so I believed, approved for construction.
So my concerns are 2 fold, 1st that last minute changes that affect the whole community are being reconsidered without re-opening the community review and comment process again; and 2, why is it that the motorized community is again being the ones attacked.
As a motorized trail user, I find it disheartening that the folks that we (as a community) depend on would even consider making any changes at this time in the process. As a resident, it is expected that our representatives will be non-biased and fair in their dealings and decisions about the recreational use of our community resources
Please leave the master plan as it is and construct the isberg Rec Area in a manner that is fair and equitable to all the residents and trail users in our community. Or if major changes are to be considered, then re-open the review process, allow for additional public hearings and let the community speak as a whole and not just a minority few.
