I am opposed to the development of the formed Shenandoah life woodlands and welcome the opportunity to work with Carilion and Roanoke City in alternative options in keeping with the Grandin Court neighborhood plan adopted by Roanoke City Council on January 18th, 2005

We hit five hundred signatures today and my exhaustion is finally starting to feel like progress. It has been a long road to get this much attention on the woodlands but I am not stopping now.

I've always been proud to say that I was a Carilion Clinic employee.. But now I'm just ashamed! Ashamed of the way this was handled with the community and ashamed that Carilion thought this was the right thing to do for one of the communities they serve!
I just moved here from out of state last year. I really love this area, specifically because I can walk to these trails and woodlands from my house. If we lose these, this neighborhood and Roanoke will lose their charm. I won't be sticking around.
My wife walked these trails daily. Don't destroy what little nature we have left inside our city limits! Secondly, you're going to create a traffic nightmare on an already congested and overused city thoroughfare.
Please consider the impact of destroying the woodlands. It is important to our neighborhood and city to provide a piece of untouched land then to build yet another apartment building when there are more than enough empty buildings that can be repurposed.
This is high density housing being parked next to an established single family dwelling neighborhood. It goes against the neighborhood plan, as well as the zoning, which does NOT specify high density housing (even though city officials declined to acknowledge this fact).
This is too beautiful piece of land and nature to destroy with multiple apts.
Why would anyone want to develop a lovely park?! It's not like Roanoke has ample parks, I say there is a major shortage of quality parks

I oppose the destruction of the Shenandoah life woodlands. It is currently used by the public, regardless of the income of the individual. By destroying the trails we are limiting the healthy and vitality of the surrounding area.
