STOP Urban style development of Fairview Park. DO NOT LAY ASPHALT OR CONCRETE OVER ANCIENT NATIVE AMERICAN SITES THAT STILL CONTAIN ARTIFACTS TO THIS DAY. Recognizing Fairview Park as an extreamly rare cultural and natural rescource within the city limits (and within Orange County as a whole) we see the need for the city to PRESERVE ALL OPEN SPACES AND NATURAL AREAS within the limits of the park. Please direct the limited rescources of the city in a prudent manner which focuses on responsible stewardship of the park, harnessing the infinite value that already exits.
Why is this important?
As a parent I value this space because it offers my children the much needed breath of fresh air and natural exposure within the city we are bound. Fairview Park, as it exits now, invites the visitor to reflect upon the Native Americans who lived there for thousands of years, as is reflected in various sites nationally recognized as archaeologically significant. Frankly speaking there is NO place that offers the oppurtunities that exist in Fairview Park.
