Message: I oppose the proposed commercial and housing development aimed at
destroying the area at the confluence of Cattle Creek and the Roaring Fork. We need to
protect our water resources which are dwindling annually. We need to protect the
ecosystem which border rivers. Not only would the land and water be degraded through the
building process but forever after but this development would cause danger to all of us who
live here. In the event of an emergency like a wildfire which becomes more likely annually
with the aridification of this region there is only one way out of the valley and that is through
Glenwood to I-70 or up Independence pass that is closed half the year. If we had to
evacuate the upper valley it would be next to impossible with a whole new town's worth of
cars trying to escape.
This is a development based on nothing but greed. Stop it!
