Celebrate Local Wilderness
Public meeting on development near Turkey Mountain tonight
“We would like time to talk with the public while Simon Properties (the project developer) is present and field questions,” Biby said in a statement from the group. “But at this time, the public is only being presented with one side.”
District Two Meeting. Subject: Turkey as we know it vs Simon
This is supposed to be the wall as viewed from about halfway down the pipeline trail. It’s cute how road bikes are leisurely pedaling up what is a steep incline on a dirt road. And no helmets!! This is their idea of camouflage the wall. Perfectly spaced large trees near the top and hundreds of saplings in between whatever existing trees they decide to leave for us. Give it 40-50 years, and it’ll look great. I’ll be dead by then.
As peaceful as the surroundings of Turkey Mountain can make you feel, mention the idea of plans for a nearby mall, and for many, that tranquility goes out the window.
“I would rather not, just to keep it like, the way it is,” said one woman.
“I think its a good idea, I just don’t think here,” said another.
