Protect Gunbarrel's Local Wildlife Through the Creation of a Greater Twin Lakes Open Space - Stop City Annexation and High Density Growth

I've been recreating here and watching the owls and other wildlife for decades. If you want high-density property for Boulder, please build it in Boulder proper, don't push it out to us and ruin what little nature we have out here.

This is an extremely important space for our community! Let's do what we can do preserve it.

Please leave our open space open and alive to the wild ones who live there. This quality of life is Boulder County. Thank You, a Colorado native

It's a travesty we even have to consider a petition in the first place to keep open space in Boulder county , city council should be ashamed of themselves for even considering it ! This open space is extremely important for the health of this subdivision and wildlife .

Perfect location for a neighborhood park!

An independent hydrologist’s analysis in June 2015 identified 6655 Twin Lakes Road as a high groundwater area with “very limited” suitability for development. This is enough of a reason to not allow this project to proceed.

I own property in Gunbarrel and am very familiar with these plots of land. It is no place for the housing that BCHA is proposing! There is a lack of access to public transportation as well as other services, which would require residents to have and use their own cars daily -- exactly what the city keeps saying it does not want!

Save the Sanity and Wildlife at Twin Lakes! Enough development is Enough!

The only people that seem to be in favor of this don't live here, or they work for the City/County. Please listen to the residents. Put the affordable housing on Spine in those empty lots by 63rd not in a flood plains!!!

I live ~ 1 mi west of the Twin Lakes, and have been walking, jogging, or bike riding to the lakes for 15+ yrs. Please, let's make this a Boulder County Open Space.

Once again the city and county override the wishes of the people and go with the money

The beauty of Boulder's open space and nature preserves are why we moved here. I am saddened that anyone would even considering ruining this lovely area.

As a former Gunbarrel resident, I am disturbed to hear of this proposed development. Gunbarrel is a beautiful community because of its surrounding open space and the open space within it. It is important to protect these lands for the enjoyment of its citizens and the wildlife that considers it home. We must first consider the impact of any decision we make on our environment and its native species.

This land is an important wildlife corridor. If any housing is to be built here is should be permanent affordable housing that people can own and care for. At a low density that can blend with surrounding neighborhoods and support wildlife that lives there and work within the existing infrastructure.

I oppose any more development in the Twin Lakes and Gunbarrel area. These places are too crowded already. The last thing Gunbarrel needs is more housing and more traffic. The owls are a wonderful addition to this area and should be preserved.

I am vehemently opposed to ANY development of the areas referred to here as Twin Lakes Open Space.

Keep the open space. It is what keeps the boulder area attractive.

PLease save our wonderfull open space. The recent developements are already adding too much density to this area.

This area is totally unsuitable for high density housing. The reasons have been succinctly presented by TLAG- flooding, distance from transportation and services, incompatibility with low density neighborhood, too much traffic on a dead end road. etc. etc. etc. The city seems intend on isolating low income households and keeping them out of sight rather than incorporating them into the new building projects such as those at 30 and Pearl and by King Soopers in Gunbarrel.

Protecting our open space protects and preserves our wild life who need our fields and meadows to nest and hunt in.
