I live in Warrenton and uti- lize the Warrenton Water- front Trail for exercise daily. I’ve met many residents on my walks and we all share a common feeling of safety when we use the path. Recently, I’ve learned of a request by Pacific Seafood for a zone change on the property that abuts the path near Northwest 17th Place. Alarmed, I looked for addi- tional information. The zone change request is for the purpose of construct- ing seasonal transient hous- ing for employees. When I learned this, I became ex- ceptionally alarmed and very concerned for my safety on the beautiful walking path along the river. Many of the people I’ve shared my concerns with agree this is unacceptable for our community. We are a col- lection of mature citizens us- ing the path as exercise and for social exchanges. We are all concerned for our safety. Why would this area be considered for such use when there are better locations? How would increasing crime be dealt with when our existing police depart- ment has difficulty keeping up with such things as illegal fireworks on the pathway in summer months? How are senior citizens to be protected from crime? I use a walker, am 70 years old and not prone to fast get- aways. In short, I want to launch my objection to this entire plan. We have a gem in our Warrenton Waterfront Trail. Many senior citizens use it for much-needed therapy – both physical and mental. I would invite commissioners 7 to take some time and take a walk along the entire length of our walking path. You’ll enjoy the peace and safe- ty – and the beauty of the great Columbia River on your stroll. Please think again on this idea of bringing all this to an end with development of transient housing for peo- ple who don’t share our love of home and community.
