Letters to the Editor

Editor:

I am responding to an article that asked for feedback regarding the Moraga Way - Country Club drive story poles. When I first heard that these poles were going to be set up in the dirt lot between the fire station and the real estate company building (the one that has been rebuilt after burning down) I was mildly concerned. Then when I was at a dinner and the Planning Director was the featured speaker, she happened to mention that this was a plan for two-story senior housing. My concerns began increasing. Last week I was walking my dog on Country Club Drive going past the poles and I realized that this plan is a really, really bad idea as it is currently set up. If buildings are erected to the height of the strings, the hills and the trees bordering both streets will be blocked from view, the sky will not be visible from ground level, and both Moraga Way and Country Club Drive will look like alleys instead of roads with Nature as a scenic backdrop. Why do people believe that every flat, open piece of land has to have buildings on it? Why not give landscape designers an opportunity to build a mini-park for the town? Just asking.

Thank you!
