| 3 | Hans Jannasch | This trail is a neighborhood hallmark. |
| 4 | Elizabeth S. Jannasch | I also support and encourage a meeting with city representatives, homeowner and neighborhood association members connected to Parcel B to work toward a solution for this land that would serve all. |
| 5 | Bob Schwarz | This trail has been here before most of the homes along it, and it has been one of the delights of living in this Monterey Vista neighborhood. |
| 6 | Robin Weismann | This is so important! The neighborhood is not very safe to walk due to the curves and hills that limit the visibility of drivers. This trail provides a beautiful and safe alternative for moving through the neighborhood between the parks. |
| 7 | Scott Weismann | I am shocked to have people try to take away this place that has played such an important role in the joy I have had which no small amount is contributed to the greenbelt. I only wish that once again I can bring my friends to this place and play hide and go seek or arm ourselves for a friendly game of lazertag. |
| 8 | Ben Jannasch | I am quite disappointed that people would try to take the land that many people have been walking and enjoying. I have been playing with my friends on the greenbelt for all my life and having it be taken away would be like erasing one of my most memorial times. I remember running around playing tag, or just siting and making images out of clouds. I hope the greenbelt stays open so people can enjoy it! |
| 9 | Nicolaus Jannasch | I have lived by "Parcel B" for as long as i can remember. When I was younger I used to play there regularly and I still find it a quiet and peaceful place to walk with my family. When i first found out that it might become private property, I was appalled that anyone would even think about closing off this beautiful peace of land from the public, leaving it only to a few families to enjoy. If "Parcel B" was closed to the general public, I would truly believe that the interests of the community have not been served. If indeed, it becomes illegal for us to walk through "Parcel B", I believe a piece of our neighborhood will be lost. I can not find a reason why it would be so difficult for a few families to share this 12 acre park with the community they are an active part of. "Parcel B" is exceptionally beautiful, and I believe that everyone who wishes should be able to enjoy a little piece of that beauty. |
| 10 | Anne Washburn | I walk this trail with my dogs several times a week and we would greatly miss our woodland adventure so close to home! |
| 11 | Sebastian Morello | This is a beautiful trail that needs to remain accessible to the public |
| 12 | Suzanne Wood | This is one of the most pleasant walks in all the Monterey and it would be a tragedy for the community if it were closed. It is a local tradition and part of the privilege of living in this neighborhood, which I do. By walking there, we help the environment by not having to drive to Garland or Jacks Peak. Firmly recommend that the city take steps to prevent this trail from being closed. |

| 14 | Joseph Byrd | I walk my dog in the Quarry most every day and enjoy the changing seasons. This is a wonderful asset to Monterey and should not be taken away from us. Some things are worth fighting for and this is one of them. |
| 15 | Chip Hale | Thank you Scott for making this issue known about here in our corner of the woods |
| 16 | Susanne Overton | I love this trail! My family & I hike it almost everyday. We have brought friends visiting us and they tell us how lucky we are to have that in the neighborhood. |
| 17 | Frank Davi | I ask that the community and City make every effort they can to preserve public recreational access to the Quarry Park Trail and all of Parcel B. This parcel has unique value in being the only undeveloped connector between the Quarry and Memorial Park. |
| 18 | Anonymous | This is a beautiful trial meant for the use of everyone. It should not be closed because a few people aren't happy about others walking behind their home when they knew about the path prior to moving in. People have used this trail for more than 50 years and it is not right for a few to ruin it for all. |

| 20 | carol e. lieberman | I live on Cramden and belong to the Skyline Ridge Homeowners Assn. It is a crime that the situation has been allowed to come to this. Parcel B should have always been part of the city park system. |
| 21 | elaine lalancette | wandering bands of youunsters, middleaged couples, elderly and their dogs roam the forest path from early till late. Dogs and owners greet and stop to chat. Cardio workouts, cool out periods, seeks of inspiration.... all happen on this lovely tree filled prominade |

| 23 | Anonymous | It is very important to keep local hiking areas
open for the community and especially wild
flower lovers and bird lovers. |
| 24 | Chris Morello | |
| 25 | Ed Mellinger | It is important to keep public utility in balance with private property rights... but in this case there is clearly great public utility in allowing access, and very minor infringement on the property owner(s).
Walkable towns are important now and will become more so in the future, and the Veterans-Quarry trail is a perfect example of a feature that if lost now, will be nearly impossible to reclaim in the future.
I urge our City Representatives to do all they can to maintain public access to this trail. |

| 27 | Anonymous | Almost daily my neighbor and I walk on this trail. We can enjoy a healthful activity without having to take a car to get to someother place to hike -- this saves the environment, gas, time, etc. and we also note if everything is O.K. along the way. |
| 28 | Linda Byrd | |
| 29 | chris grech | Do it |
| 30 | Ellie Huffman | Accessability to the beauty in this area is one of its prime assets. To restrict wlking paths creates obstacles to being at home with nature in our area. This wou;d be a loss to us and our children. |
| 31 | Nancy Harray | This trails keeps its distance from nearby homes and offers all the pleasures of trails much farther away. Please protect this valuable Monterey resource. |
| 32 | Casey | The wilderness is a beautiful place...I think people should be able to enjoy it. |

| 37 | Karen Wiskoff | If taxpayer money is used to maintain land, then the land must be open to access by the taxpayers. End of story. I agree with those who wish to work toward a workable solution short of litigation. |
| 38 | Wil Shull | |
| 39 | James Barry | Please do not allow this trail to be closed. Open space is important. |
| 40 | Carolyn Bretz | Keep the trail open |
| 41 | Kodi Adams | Why close a park down that people love there is no point in it? |
| 42 | Anonymous | With our children and grandchildren we have enjoyed walking portions of this trail. It would be wrong to deny this long-standing benefit to the public to gratify the selfishness of a few. |
| 43 | Jane Lundy | This trail creates a marvelous link between Quarry Park and Veterans Park giving us a good chance to stretch out legs uphill and down away from traffic, etc. Please keep it open for us all. |
| 44 | Ashley Knight | I am new to the area and was delighted to discover this trail. I was proud to find that open space parcels like these existed. These are the things that make Monterey so special. Please keep this trail open, it's not hurting anyone and allows EVERYONE to enjoy the breathtaking views and cozy neighborhood forest, rather that only those who can afford it. |
| 45 | shane anderson | It seems that a compromise can be reached that provides access between these two beautiful resources. |
| 46 | Ferd Hafner | I want my community leaders to know I am relying on them to support preserving my rights as well as the rights of future generations to continue to hike these trails . |
| 47 | erin | we need parks, save this one!! |
| 48 | Jeff Riley | |
| 49 | Ann Pennington | Taking away trails from the public is counterproductive to what makes and keeps our peninsula the jewel that is is. If you haven't walked the trail yet do so today! It's a gem. |
| 50 | Douglas Davenport | My wife and I along with our dog use the trail between Veterans & Quarry Parks several time a week. It is the only safe connection to Veterans Park for foot traffic. It gives use exercise and eliminates the need to drive to the park which is an environmental benefit to the community as a whole. We have used the trail for 10 plus years. This trail adds so much to the character and enjoyment of our neighborhood (Mt. Regio) and has been a part of the "quality of life" which we experience for many decades hee in Monterey. |
