Make your opinion count!
Please join our effort to preserve and protect Gillson Park. The Park Board needs to hear from you. Contact them and tell them that Gillson is great as it is and that expanding Lakeview is unwarranted and will only add to the congestion and parking difficulties, especially on summer weekends. We can’t afford to lose Gillson’s green space and trees. Once they are gone, they are gone. Your voice matters!

Dear Commissioners:
I support keeping Gillson green and request that the Board adopt modest plans for Gillson and Lakeview Center. Please fix the roads and sewers that are broken and approve a master landscaping plan that preserves and protects the trees and open green space.
The residents, who are also the taxpayers who fund the District and its operations, have repeatedly requested that Gillson be maintained as it is without new buildings, more concrete, or more parking. We ask you to honor that request and leave Gillson alone, except for necessary maintenance. Gillson is a unique treasure that residents enjoy for its natural beauty and opportunity to commune with nature. We don’t want it spoiled.
I appreciate your consideration and thank you for taking the time.
Sincerely,
Name
