Leave our Creeks and Greenbelts alone in Citrus Heights.

Re:     Citrus Heights-- Creeks and Greenbelt;


             My wife and I went to a Citrus Heights City meeting about a month ago, and it was filled with concerned residents of the "Cripple Creek" area.  My concerns were, what I got out of the meeting, the residents anonymously opposed the development of the {Cripple Creek project} and the City Hall officials wanted to go with the plan anyways.

               This build would directly affect my family as, we live along the greenbelt.  I'm a Disabled War Veteran, and I chose to live in this area of Citrus Heights because of what the area had to offer and the greenbelt suited me fine after war memories the tranquil setting helped me adjust to American living.

              I can say, that the residence nor myself want any-part of the development in our greenbelt.  Destroying a wildlife's Eco-system, Increased crime, vandalism, graffiti, vagrancy, loss of property values and invasion of privacy would be quit a (terror attack) orchestrated by, our own Citrus Heights City Hall. There's got to be another way to spend the taxpayers money.

              If special interest groups push for this tragedy, in our community developing on the greenbelts, I will be forced to look for a new place to live. Because of city officials who, have a more corrupt and elaborate plan with special interest groups that don't live here. 

            At the meet only one person on the Citrus Heights Council lived in our area.  I wounder how much they payed her to turn on her community. Well, lets see, they gave her a chair at the City Counsel meeting.... How nice!

 
Sincerely Yours,
