Slicing and Dicing Our Neighborhood

The plans unveiled at the April 3rd Countryside Community Meeting

We are "bellyaching" according to the Roanoke Times when we object to the slicing and dicing of our neighborhood. We have been charged with "bellyaching", "complaining", "negativity", "against change", and "against progress".

Let me be clear - we are protecting "our neighborhood", "our quality of life", "our property values" and we are for " parks" and "affordable recreation opportunity for the entire city". We have asked for a comprehensive study on the property to the point of being breathless and ignored.

I challenge the Roanoke Times to do a poll and ask whether Roanoke citizens think this "green space" needs to be developed or should it remain a golf course and park?
