   Comments: A crying shame to even think someone would have the balls to close and develop the last piece of green space left in Richmond Hill. I visited the observatory as a kid several times and was probably some of the greatest experiences I ever had. Someone please listen to the facts of how important this historical landmark is to the people of the GTA and how important it is to the health of the environment surrounding us. I am sure the Observatory and the lands were donated to UofT for the purpose of destroying the environment and to profit heavily!

   Comments: As a masters student in gravitational physics, I appreciate how important the DDO was to my current career path. My parents took me when I was young to the observatory on several occasions, and there is little doubt that these trips had a significant impact on me. I have very fond memories of the DDO, and I know it is important scientifically, historically, culturally, and personally for a great number of people. This is one of the most illustrious observatories in Canada, and we need to preserve it, not sell the land for yet more strip malls and suburban housing.

   Comments: I remember well the great night when our Brownie group visited the DDO - there was lots of excitement and it was a fun way to learn! Saving this heritage resource and this significant green area is incredibly important for us all and necessary for our future.

    Comments: In a town like Richmond Hill where EVERYTHING is becoming overdeveloped, there needs to be some sense of "history". This town is changing, but that doesn't mean that everything that was a part of Richmond Hill needs to be destroyed and paved over for another god damn Smart Center.

    Comments: Green space in the middle of a city, I guess we need to pave everything over to show how committed we are to fighting global warming and the environmental health of our cities and province. Really sad statement on the moral authority our politicians are showing to business and developers.

    Comments: I worked as assistant to Don Fernie in 1974/5 at DDO and Las Campanas. The destruction of this island oasis is like lifting the oil moratorium on the shores of Haida Gwaii. Is nothing worth saving

    Comments: Another mid-town park, like the Mill Pond, is vital to our growing community. Properly planned and executed, the David Dunlap Observatory Park , which might include a Planetarium and other civic attractions as well as the Observatory, would be an educational and cultural oasis. Let's not lose it to more housing!

    Comments: When I was 6 years old I visited the David Dunlop observatory with my cub scouts troop. I still remember the awe and wonder that I felt that evening. I lived near to the observatory until recently, and often enjoyed walks through the grounds in the evening. It would truly be a shame to loose this remarkable piece of history.
