ATTACHMENT E <br /> 22 <br /> Little River Park Advisory Committee <br /> March 1, 2001 Public Meeting <br /> Pleasant Green Community Center <br /> Summary of Comments <br /> (Organized by subject) <br /> Park Uses <br /> Would like an area for dogs to run off leash <br /> Wants mountain biking allowed (suggests alternate days for bikes and horses). <br /> Wants Counties to allow horseback riding (a traditional use of this land). <br /> Suggests Counties consider allowing hunting to continue now or in future. <br /> Will Counties allow any overnight use? [No preference was stated] <br /> Park Design <br /> Traffic improvements will be needed to make the main entrance safe. Consider the need <br /> for road signs, clear sight lines, possible turn lane(s). <br /> Not interested in formal entrances to park from Summer Lane and Runyan, as long as <br /> residents in neighboring communities will be allowed to access park through traditional <br /> entranceways by foot. Intersection of Bromley Rd and Guess Rd is dangerous. <br /> Would like access for disabled persons. <br /> Would like the park be left mostly natural. <br /> Park trails should be loops rather than dead end at private property boundaries. <br /> Recommend that the entrance drive be gravel and not asphalt. <br /> Would like a display/kiosk(or interpretive center?) near entrance describing how the park <br /> came about. <br /> Recommends high-quality interpretive signage along the trails to describe natural and <br /> cultural history of property. <br /> Will there be any lighting in the Park? [It was unclear whether this person want lighting <br /> or was concerned with the effects of possible lighting on park and adjacent properties] <br /> E-I <br />
