I am writing in response to an article, “Feeley land key to project,” (June 27). I feel the article was very unfair and does not reflect the truth.
In reading the article, one would think that the Feeleys are against this project, when, in fact, they are giving up roughly an acre of their land. They are trying to lessen this project’s impact on their neighbors by asking to keep a natural buffer zone between the new school and its neighbors.
I don’t think anyone would find it appealing to look out their back window at a parking lot.
In talking with my neighbors who are affected by this project, not one has spoken against this project, only against the way that the project had been presented to each of them, separately. They don’t like the “take-it-or-leave-it” attitude, meaning accept the city’s terms or lose their land to eminent domain.
I hope people realize what the Feeleys are giving up to help make this project a reality. After all, this is going to be right in their front yard.
