Dear Board of Alderman,
We are writing in support of R-21-202. This area is used by all of Nashua as well as several other
communities. This is ALL of Nashua’s backyard, especially for those who do not have other green space in
which they can enjoy nature. The development would have many negative impacts on the park, including
impacts to the wildlife in the area.
In addition to the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks, we have seen fox, owls, rabbits, raccoons, and even turkeys
within the Barker property. In the days following the recent drilling to test the land within the property, we
watched two racoons climb over the fence and into the Wellington Street area. With the little green space we
have left, the wildlife has nowhere to go and will be forced to wander toward nearby streets and
neighborhoods, where they likely will not survive and may cause danger to traffic and citizens. With weeks left
to approve this bond, please consider moving forward with this resolution.
Thank you,
Dave Smith and Christina Conti
21 Columbia Ave
