To the Editor:
At the CDD5 meeting on Friday of this week the room had a significant number of attendees who heard the proceedings concerning the stripping issue. Only two individuals spoke and both were NOT in favor of stripping. I was one of the two who spoke. There were no individuals who spoke in support of stripping. In spite of the discussion the entire 5 members of CDD5 board voted to support the stripping of the Multi-Use trails. This tells me they chose to ignore the findings of The Villages Public Safety Department, the Kimley-Horn report and the large majority who responded to the Villages News.com survey.
Without supporting facts and data, it would be a breach of the Project Wide Advisory Council’s fiduciary responsibility to finance this very expensive ($300,000.00) project. I respectfully request that you vote to NOT stripe the Multi-Use Trails.
