Please do not rezone the land that is being reviewed. The West Hills greenway is beautiful and used by many many many people, including singles, families, adults, children, and their pets. For many it's the only green space left they can enjoy.

The land and greenery also form a buffer that insulates residents and visitors from the sound of the traffic and residential life.

We love to walk at this trail because it is a central location, quiet & secluded & is safe. Please don't force us to find somewhere else to walk. We need this trail to remain as it is.

I run the greenway in this area every morning and it is so beautiful and serene, I would hate for anything to change.

I am in opposition of rezoning plan 12-A-20-RZ. The proposed rezoning will impact a heavily trafficked stretch of the Jean Teague Greenway. This greenway is a fantastic public amenity that raises the quality of life for residents of the West Hills area by offering a relatively secluded area for recreation. It is a popular greenway, and its value to citizens has been proven undoubtable during the COVID pandemic. While I recognize that the proposed plan will not eliminate the greenway, it will have negative impacts both during the construction of housing and forever after rezoning has occurred. This plan appears to benefit very few people, while negatively impacting the many hundreds or thousands of people who use this greenway. Removing the greenery separating the greenway from I-40 and replacing it with apartments or housing will result in even fewer opportunities for people to have a semblance of outdoor serenity in an area that is already highly urbanized.
