Please do not consider building so close to this wonderful park we all love so well! I'm afraid it would destroy it in time...

Cheap, profit driven development is tacky and temporary

The proposed development and zoning change at 1st and Pioneers Sts. needs to be delayed if not completely scratched. The developers have shown no interest in taking into account the nature of the land, its unique topography, its positioning near the park and potential serious problems with water retention in an area ill prepared for future flooding. There is no plan for dealing with traffic from an unknown future interchange at hwy 77. The city planners seem only to have the developers interests in mind and are completely disregarding multiple policies in Plan Forward that call for ecological, agricultural and topographic mindfulness. We cannot afford to lose this sacred area. It needs to remain agricultural zoned and perhaps be a working regenerative ag area that is outlined in the Climate action plan or perhaps a solar farm. Let’s do better than this cut and paste development. It doesn’t work here!

Wilderness is a significant reason why I live in Lincoln. I want it to be protected and valued as it is an incredibly unique and beautiful space. To do that, we must wisely manage the areas bordering the park as well.

Protect this amazing part of Lincoln! Wilderness park is one of the few places like it around and should be protected at all costs!

Beautiful parks like Wilderness, where you can go walk for miles and escape in to nature, are what make Lincoln and it’s surrounding areas so wonderful! Wilderness has so many areas to explore throughout the year. PLEASE do not diminish it.

It is our responsibility to think about our influence when we abruptly shift the natural state of things. There will always be consequences and it’s imperative that we care.

The UN Climate report that was just released this last week is a dire example of what happens if we don’t treasure our earth above mass production. Wilderness Park is a treasure to Lincolnites, and it would serve us all to ensure this space is kept protected.

This place is so important. This park is a sort of religious and spiritual solace to many, as well as just simply something that improves many people in Lincoln's life.

Please care for the natural world and the well being of citizens who enjoy excercise in nature and utilize it for mental health recuperation.

Wilderness Park is a bastion for wildlife and the wild at heart. It’s a natural sanctuary that demands praise and protection. Please save the park!

This is a beautiful bird sanctuary and I would peacefully protest this if this goes through. A huge staple in the Lincoln community and would be truly disappointed in our state government for following through on this.

Proud to preserve Wilderness Park just as it is. We are so lucky to have a park such as this in our city. Let’s do the very least and protect it.
