Subject: Help Us Preserve
Coyote Hills
Dear City Council members:
Coyote Hills is a treasure
that must be preserved. The mixed-use Patterson Ranch
development as currently planned will remove a buffer
zone for Coyote Hills Regional Park. Over 70 percent of polled voters do not want any development in front of Coyote Hills.
I support what is stated in the General Plan 2030: “much of the
anticipated development potential during the twenty-year
planning period would be characterized as
higher-intensity “Transit-Oriented Development” (TOD)
that takes advantage of Fremont’s bus, BART and ACE
train lines, to enable the City to become more urban in
strategic locations.”
Given all the liabilities associated with this
proposed project (for example, soil toxins seeping into
air and drinking water, thousands of lives put at risk
due to soil liquefaction, overcrowded and underfunded
local schools, flooding due to sea level rise), why
should Fremont city council put
us
taxpayers
at risk of bailing out another development scheme doomed
to failure or even approve any housing units to be built
there in the first place?
The development as planned
will destroy the integrity of the site with its unique
plant, bird, and animal habitats. Coyote Hills, a scenic
gateway to Fremont, is a regional natural area enjoyed
by so many.
I am asking each city council member to preserve
Coyote
Hills for current and future generations by
implementing the General Plan 2030 as described above.
Sincerely,
[your name here]
