While the trail development is exciting with some positive items, we would like to propose a modification that is more of a win-win situation for all residents.
We would like to propose that the paved path relocate to the mowed path location. The paved path would be in a more appealing, peaceful location surrounded by deeper prairie on both sides of the path while also reducing developing costs. This also helps the residents near the prairie continue to have privacy, less traffic and safer backyards. Below is a proposed mark up. The mowed path will now become the paved path.
We appreciate your work and the positive changes such as more trails, easy access to Persinger and better access to the middle school from Mill Creek neighborhood. We understand formal engineering drawings are not complete and hope you will re-evaluate with all points of view.

The momentum behind this proposal proves that residents are tired of the board ignoring our common sense solutions for Peck Farm Park. We are forcing the developers to acknowledge that their current plan is destructive and unnecessary.

we really need to keep the noise and traffic away from the homes. rethink the route.
PLEASE reconsider the location. nobody wants a paved path right against their back fence.
An additional idea is to have any trail, paved or grassy, close to the backside of the rec center, which offers the most privacy, security, etc for the homeowners. This would also offer a larger area for the wildlife to continue to hide from predators, protect their young and have privacy from humans.
Clearly, there are enough inner prairie paths that people can enjoy. Adding a path 35 feet (12 yards) is an unnecessary security risk to the residents of Millcreek Oakmont. We are a community of a very large amount of young children and any additional security risk is a concern to all of us.
The current plan is way too close to our houses. Moving it near the mowed path makes so much more sense for everyone.
Please no paved trail.
Please honor the residents' very reasonable request to maintain their privacy.

Moving the path keeps the prairie natural and keeps our yards private. seems like a no brainer.
