Monterey City

Sept 6, 2001

We respectfully urge you to -

• Protect significantly more native Forests within the City of Monterey,
• Protect more Wildlife Corridors,
• Recognize and protect Environmental Values - not merely scenic values, and call them environmental phenomena or gifts, do not call them natural resources. Resources are things to be used up, Environmental phenomena are important to be protected for their intrinsic value - not for their economic value.
• Create more Parks,
• Limit building approvals to those which do not use additional water until our Water Emergency is lifted,
• Limit building approvals to those which do not use additional Electric supplies until that Emergency is lifted
• Limit building approvals to those which do not cause additional Traffic until Gridlock has disappeared,
• Significantly Reduce Traffic Congestion, try Traffic Calming,
• Significantly reduce existing Light Pollution and Sky Glare,
• Significantly reduce existing Noise Pollution (e.g. Leaf Blowers and Chainsaws)
• Limit new building to Low-income Housing until that problem is solved.
