To the Editor:
The new trail at Four Mile Run Park looks to be a nice addition for birders, fishermen, and a new hangout area for loiterers and their trash. While it is nice to see the bike trail repaved and the temporary/detour trail which hopefully will remain permanent, it is unfortunate that the new trail is already in need of repair given it has not officially opened. Also, what ever happened to actually expanding the parking lot at a minimum 3-4 more spaces where the gravel and boulders were placed after demolishing the covered concrete area? Further is it really going to break the city budget to expand out the creek side to increase, improve parking on that side? Lastly, is there a specific reason why park parking is not allowed on the Conservancy building side at a minimum during the youth and adult soccer league games?
