We, the families of Ogden Dunes, are concerned for the well-being of our children, for the safety of our property and for our overall quality of life.
Outside developers have proposed to pave over the green Solar System Trail in town and turn it into an interstate bicycle path. The Town will not own the path, will receive nothing in return for it but will be responsible for its maintenance in perpetuity. The plan brings NO NEW BENEFITS to the residents of Ogden Dunes
The path will connect to others, extending from Chicago to Michigan, that will bring into town thousands of cyclists a week. This will certainly make our homes and families less secure.
Construction of the bike path will destroy a peaceful, green space that has been treasured by children, adults and pets alike for decades.
No study has been conducted to determine what environmental impact the bike path will have on neighboring homes. The concerns of these homeowners have been ignored by the developers and their allies on the Town Council.
We are petitioning the members of the Ogden Dunes Town Council to protect our families and properties and to preserve our town's peaceful green spaces and to VOTE NO on the proposal to build the Marquette Greenway in Ogden Dunes.
Time is running out. The Town Council is set to vote on the bike path on June 22. Sign this petition NOW and email all members of the Town Council to voice your opposition before it's too late. Don't let them PAVE OVER PARADISE!!
