   Comments: Parking at Winfrey is in violation of the Arboretum's master plan - which specifically prohibits parking in a residential area - the proposed lots are directly in front of a retirement home and an apartment complex. The Arboretum should provide for its parking needs elsewhere.

   Comments: I am very displeased with this overt land grab. It will become permanent and tie into a new road. Results will create run off into a nesting area for migratory wildfowl.

    Comments: This is a violation of the Arboretum's 1987 agreement with the surrounding neighborhoods, which states that off-site parking for the Arboretum will be on commercially-zoned land.

    Comments: Don't ruin the treasure we have in White Rock. Why not bus in folks from Dart locations? Destroying the grassland it not the answer.. makes one wonder.. who will profit from people parking there?

    Name: James E. Costello on Apr 30, 2012

    Comments: This is some of the last black land prairie left in Texas. Do not make it into a parking lot. The wild flowers and grasses are much more beautiful than anything in the Arboretum. The Arboretum planners had to see this coming, and it is unacceptable that they did not include adequate parking outside of our beautiful White Rock Lake Park.

    Name: John Dugdale on Apr 30, 2012

    Comments: I moved to the Peninsula neighborhood 22 years ago because of its location within an urban oasis that I had thought would be protected from thinly-veiled commercial activities. The ones in question would involve the destruction of critical habitat, the blackland prairie, and fly in the face of prior recognition of those attributes within the Park. The proposed plan is entirely antithetical to the the ecological attributes that help make the park unique among Dallas public spaces. Furthermore, the destruction of such attributes for which the Park Board is laying the administrative foundation could set a disastrous precedent of putting commercial interests before those of the public at large. Is the historical recognition of the significance of the ecological resources the park preserves somehow no longer valid? I will do everything in my power to oppose the proposed plan to destroy native habitat in favor of installing parking infrastructure that will benefit a commercial operation. As a practicing environmental lawyer, I will devote as much of my time as possible to combat this proposal, and any others that advance commercial interests over those who use the park as a means of escaping the kind of development the Arboretum proposes. The park is a real urban oasis that serves as a means to escape development. In this instance, the proposed parking lots will serve to destroy valuable habitat for plant and wildlife species that have survived or sought refuge in the park. This plan must not be allowed to advance.

    Comments: Please, please do not pave the Blackland Prairie. White Rock Lake and its surrounding area is a gem that must not be destroyed. I run the lake, I cycle the lake and I will soon learn to row the lake. It is my sancturary! I love the peacefulness the park provides, and added traffic and less natural land will only take away from all its charm and more importantly the lives of many natural inhabitants of the land.

    Comments: I love the Arboretum, but any more growth needs to include double-decking existing parking and incenting alternative transportation such as bikes or buses. We can't turn the east side of WRL into a series of parking lots for the Arboretum!

    Comments: this is craziness beyond crazy. with so many (under-used) parking lots already in existence, why in heaven's name would they think of builidng another one or two or three lots? the exec. dir. of arboretum needs to take a step back, pause, take a look at her grandchild(ren), and consider; then reconsider, "what was I thinking?".
