5 <br />(4) We want to leave a natural legacy that our children, our grandchildren and future <br />generations can enjoy. Christopher Alexander and his colleagues have expressed it well <br />in A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction: "When the countryside is far <br />away, the city becomes a prison" and "Every city inhabitant should be within a 10 <br />minute walk of a natural area." We have. a critical opportunity to preserve the natural <br />corridor along Bolin Creek before it is engulfed by the rising tide of development in this <br />area. It is essential to act now while considerable open space still exists! <br />We will be coming to you on Monday, February 17, to request your support- <br />political, physical, monetary and spiritual. Realization of this dream will require the joint <br />efforts and support of many people and many jurisdictions-Chapel Hill, Carrboro, <br />Orange County, the State of North Carolina, and perhaps the federal government. It is a <br />dream that has the enthusiastic support of a large cross-section of the local population- <br />hikers, joggers, dog-walkers, bikers and nature lovers. We respectfully invite you to join <br />and support us in our efforts to create a Bolin Creek Corridor Open Space Master <br />Plan! <br />
