I am in opposition to OMC project in its current <br />size and layout. <br />I have lived in this quiet neighborhood for nine and a half years. I have enjoyed watching the children play in <br />front of our house. The parents and kids feel safe here in the dead end part of the street. The kids set up bike <br />and skate board jumps and skill training courses, basketball games, hockey games. It has been fun watching <br />them grow up and create new games in front of my house. The neighborhood has a new wave of little ones, <br />learning to walk, and some learning to ride bikes. We have many dog walkers that come by. We have a <br />neighborhood understanding if your dog is obedient and accompanied by a person it is ok for the dog to be off <br />leash. I enjoy the dogs coming up to me for pets and affection. My cats sun bathe in the front yard and do not <br />seem to mind the walkers or the children at play. <br />I he blackberry bush along the border of the meadow and the street has been a great source of food. I can black <br />berry jam every year and enjoy making blackberry treats all summer long. The whole neighborhood and their <br />friends and family members also enjoy picking black berries. There is enough for everyone to enjoy. The <br />961 <br />
