      <![CDATA[The sports complex proponents have said they don't have enough money for the project, and they don't want to pay the $65,000 which the city has asked for in June for further environmental studies. This is clearly not a "gift", but a "contribution", and the taxpayers of Piedmont will be left holding the bag, as usual.

      <![CDATA[Dear Editor:<br>
According to Geoff Grote, $65,000 is now needed for environmental and legal studies regarding a traffic plan for the project. Early on in the process several individuals requested, even pleaded, with City Council to conduct a thorough traffic study for Moraga Avenue to insure a viable project BEFORE embarking on a premature Environmental  Impact Study.

      <![CDATA[Neither the story nor the first five comments mention the running costs, and potential for cost overruns. Piedmont JUST went through a crisis where a utility undergrounding project whose costs were to be covered by the residents rather than the City, went more than 100% over budget, those costs got dumped onto the entire City's residents, and it wiped out our financial cushion at the worst possible moment.

      <![CDATA[I have lived in Piedmont for over 25 years and have been shocked by the cavalier attitude many residents have taken regarding the impact this Large Sports Complex will have on the neighboring residents, the environment, and traffic. Our city is already plagued with financial issues as a result of a select group of home owners wanting utilities undergrounded.

      <![CDATA[We support the efforts to keep Moraga Park a natural, tree-filled park -- Golden Gate Park in San Franicsco is also being threatened by this kind of project. We support youth soccer, but Golden Gate Park is the wrong place for this kind of project.

      <![CDATA[The cavalier attitude of the Piedmont City Council members and the members and supporters of the PRFO toward the environmental, safety, and aesthetic concerns is beyond infuriating. Instead of being blinded by visions of free facilities, the citizens of Piedmont had better start demanding to know just how much this boondoggle will cost them.

It is about time that this massive and inappropriate proposal for it's site by ELS architects and the PRFO begins to get the regional attention it deserves.

      <![CDATA[This is what happens when Piedmont City Council allows the  cocktail party set to do town planning - no traffic plan, a poor EIR, a project whose design changes at every meeting, no due diligence, no costing, environmentally destructive, too expensive, unsafe, and perilous to the 25 homes above Blair Park. If YOU had 6.5 million dollars to donate, would you use it to build a 40 foot wall and 2 plastic fields?

      <![CDATA[If Jessica Berg's statement is correct, "We have looked at impacts in . . . Oakland in every way that we could,"  then why did Oakland write Piedmont on 3/21/2011:  "The City remains concerned about Piedmont's failure to conduct any meaningful analysis of the project's environmental impacts."
