Report Inappropriate Comments

I hate to be a 'Debbie Downer' but I have a few questions and comments:

1. Where is the overflow of automobiles going to park when the two parking lots and on-street parking spots are full? Remember now, we have both soccer and softball combined at one location, not like at the old soccer and softball fields. All it will take is one softball (or soccer) tournament to

create a parking dilemma.

They will not be able to park along Rowe and Wells Avenue since these two side streets no longer have access to the new Winslow Park.

2. Where will the softball teams practice when their game is scheduled next? This is especially true during tournament time. This should be interesting. Will they be allowed to practice on the soccer fields? I doubt it. Also, they will not be able to return to the old ball fields since they have all been dismantled and are no longer there.

3. What about distraction from the commercial airliners (on both landing and taking off), especially when cars are entering and exiting from Winslow Park. It is without a doubt there will clearly be 'fender benders' on the only entrance and exit (300 Airport Rd.) to the new ball fields.

I hesitate to agree with Vella-Wilkinson regarding her comment about air quality; by all means it should be of great concern! I was at the new complex on Friday, August 14th between 4 PM and 5 PM when the pride softball teams were holding tryouts for 2016. I was there approximately 30 to 40 minutes. While I was there both Condor and TACV Airlines had landed and I could smell both jet fuel fumes and the burning of tires (during touch down). The wind was not favorable blowing from west to east across the six softball and three soccer fields. What's next, selling dust masks and respirators at the concession stand?

Comment: I don't quite understand the need to expand the main runway to 8700 feet when both Condor and TACV are currently using the existing main runway for both take-offs and landings. What am I missing?

Footnote: Oh, the new Main Ave. which is currently under construction looks great passing through my home where I once lived, directly across from softball field #5. Now I can rest now knowing RIAC or FAA didn't lie to me when they said they needed my home to relocate Main Ave.

On a positive note, congratulations and best of luck at your new home. REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT THE OLD WINSLOW PARK...
