There was no mention of any garden. Would like to know what happened to this plan.

Katrina Kirkeby

o There was no talk about gardens. The community needs a place to decompress. When you think of the Great Park, you think of New York. Would like to know what happened to the garden.

Sharon Stollen

o There are no gardens in Irvine. There was no discussion of a community garden. Would like to know what happened to the garden plan.

GOLF COURSE 

In favor of the golf course

 

No golf course

Strongly oppose the golf course

 There are three within 10 miles. Not seeing an increase. Don’t want a course that will turn into a private club. Put the area to better use. I am currently a docent at the park  Strongly opposed to having another golf course; we don’t need another one, make it an open space instead  No golf course. Would like to see a botanical garden, open space or arboretum in its place  There are too many golf courses in the area already; the small demand is from people who afford it. Make in an open space that is free for everyone to enjoy
