| 201 | Gloria Maxon | I've been walking in this area for over 30 years... before it was developed. My children grew up here, enjoying the walks as infants, then toddlers, then exploring adolescents. The trail must continue to be shared with the community. |

| 203 | Laura Cohan | I have hiked this trail for 5 years. It is a gorgeous and important piece of open space, the historical right to hike through which needs to be preserved. |
| 204 | Carol Ann Fletcher | I live on El Caminito off of Hermann Drive. I want this trail to be accesible to me on days I wish to hike in my residential area. Please do not close off this oppertunity to me and my family and visiting friends. |

| 211 | Edgard Coly | Trails are managed through public funding--tax payers money, therefore they MUST remain open to the public. |
| 212 | Amelia P. | Being angry about people walking by your house on this trail is like being mad about people yapping away at their cell phones on the sidewalk by you house. You wouldn't close the sidewalk, would you? |

| 214 | Marja Byekirova | We love the Veterans Park trail! Hikers help keep the proposed "greenbelt" green through their love of it! |
| 215 | Allison Ford | The beauty of Monterey should be accessible to everyone whether they can afford hill top property or not. Veterans Park is a public good and the public should be able to use it accordingly. Please keep the park trails open to those of us who don't have such a great view in our backyards. |

| 217 | Jean de Marignac | My Family and I walk theses trails weekly and we ask you to do what you can to keep them open for all to enjoy. They were a significant factor when we decided to buy our house in the area. |

| 222 | Danielle E. Creedon | The greenbelt areas are critical to my sense of community here in Monterey. My family and I hike the trail that begins at the Veteran's building and ends at the Quarry multiple times a week. It is a beautiful trail, and a great way to get outside without having to get in a car! Frankly, the existence of this open public space was one of the main reasons we purchased our house on Jefferson Street a few years ago. The closure of these areas would be a detriment to our community and another example of private land interests taking precedent over the interests of the public's right to enjoy such lands. |

| 224 | Louis Cioffi | This is a great trail, closing access t it would be terribly unfair. |
| 225 | Robert Beatman | A beautiful view and a safe place to walk with small children and dogs. Please do not allow a few people steal access from the city. |

| 233 | Anonymous | My wife and I live very close to this trail and walk on it nearly every day with our daughter and our dog. It would be a shame for this trail to be shut down in the interest of a few people. Please make the trail easement permanent! |
| 234 | Seth Goldsmith | I've been walking to and hiking this trail several times a week since moving to Monterey in 1995. I do not see much traffic on it on it and have never noticed any form of disturbance (nor much litter!) during my walks. The value of this "rural resource" within the confines of the city makes a great contribution to the collective quality of life for the residents of Monterey. I urge our city officials to find a resolution which maintains open access to this open space resource. |

| 236 | Thomas Bruneau | I have used the trail for at least five years in walking with my dogs. I have been active in NIP activities, as I was president of OTNA for a total of 6 years since founding in 1990 or so. Community involvement and commitment is a key element of living in Monterey. |
| 237 | Lois Van Buren | When friends come to visit, I take them on what I call the "urban hike" loop between my house and Veteran's Park because it is unique and one of the hidden treasures of Monterey. Everyone makes comments to that effect - how special the trail is and how lucky we are to have such a trail. It would be such a shame to take away from the many in order to give satisfaction to the few. Hopefully, there is some compromise to be had. |

| 240 | Anthony F. | It would be a real loss to the people of Monterey, present and future, to lose access to this beautiful trail. |

| 242 | Anonymous | do these greedy varmints know no shame?! |
| 243 | Robert Ward | Intolerant, selfish, self-centered greed must be stopped. |
| 244 | John Brennan | Nature is the greatest healer. Old and young alike enrich their lives by being in her grace; keep this trail open.

| 245 | Charles Wilson | It is sad when people in a community can only walk along public streets bounded by private property lines and have no where else to go. I hope that Monterey does not become such a place. |

| 247 | Andrea J. Wilson | My family and I have enjoyed our hikes on this trail, the beautiful views, the picnics at Vets Park, and the leisurely walk back down the path. I find this to be a much safer and more enjoyable way to get from the neighborhood to Vets Park than the risky trek on the winding roads shared with cars and trucks. Please keep the trail open to the public. |

| 249 | Nancy Skei | People and animals have existed together forever. If people choose to hike, they know the possible dangers of animal confrontations and should have the right to make the decision to hike or not hike without government interference. Animals should be more afraid of people than the other way around! |
