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

This is an irresponsible plan that we will pay for dearly in terms of destruction of wildlife and wetlands. The City of Boulder is shameless and politically self-serving.

Enough already! We`re full.

Please leave the property alone - as is without housing.

The land becomes precious for the quality of life, giving a sense of openness instead of the tight bound housing proposed. The development would be costly to the quality and pleasure of living near or walking near the area.

I'm totally against this over stepping of city council authority. It's time this city council worked to protect the environment. Instead of density at all cost. The sight is not even convenient for low income residents. There is no public transit. This is strictly a land grab.

I didn't pay tax for open space so that it could be used to aid in city development projects. This is a perversion of county open space intent.

Only the possible precedent, not other impacts, interest me

Please do not ruin the quality of life for those who have been living here for years; we pay our taxes to keep space open and maintain a good living environment. We should get our share of the tax dollars working FOR us, not against us or make the traffic even worse on Jay Road.

Stop destroying open space and neighborhoods!!!

Please stop overpopulating Boulder and Gunbarrel and all of Boulder County!

I support this petition and I oppose city of Boulder annexation of properties in Gunbarrel. I think Excel energy should be pushed hard to increase the percentage of energy we need by renewable means, but I have not confidence in the City of Boulder's ability to acquire and manage a municipal utility.

No more intrusion from the city of Boulder. Enough is enough. I do not want any more destruction of wildlife habitat. Just stop. It's bad enough that the city annexed our shopping area and forced us to pay taxes we never agreed to. What started the American Revolution? Taxation without representation. Keep the city of Boulder out of our backyard. Leave the wildlife some space and preserve the area we love.

I feel the development agreement is flawed because 1) the way it's being orchestrated appears to be legislative and administrative sleight of hand and 2) it greatly, and negatively, changes the character of this low density neighborhood and 3) it will negatively impact wildlife. Please stop this development.

I endorse open space in Twin Lakes. We do not need affordable housing built there.

i am so disappointed in our elected officials who cater to builders and developers without thinking about the people or the land. Boulder is just tiring into another town with houses stacked On top of each other becisse someone can make money.

I've lived in the Twin Lakes area since 1984 because I love the density, nature, open space (I walk around the lakes often) and lifestyle. I've been fighting annexation since back then and will continue to do so. We are doing just fine out here and won't gain anything for the extra money we'd pay in taxes and such. It's getting crowded enough in the "downtown" Gunbarrel area. Please leave the more rural areas alone and don't do anything out of character.

Open space is a positive benefit for nature and people in our County; this space in particular is a wonderful resources for people and wildlife in the midst of existing development. Please don't annex and destroy this open space!

Gunbarrel is the perfect mixture of neighborhood, commercial area, and rural landscape. Building more apartments would only reduce the wildlife we love through increased population, tighter living, a reduction of open spaces. It would begin the process of ruining the heart of why we live here.

Stop the madness!

Let me know whatever I can do to help you stop the ill conceived and illegal plan of the Boulder City Council/Boulder County Commissioners joint government run by the Jones sisters. Time to elect Paul Danish and Kevin Sipple for County Commissioners.
