1. Note similarity of arguments:
Hydrocarbon pollution like fumes, oil and other toxic runoff is an inevitable by-product of motor sports that would endanger the park’s nearshore water and air quality. Night time racing is on the table, meaning that extreme lighting could scar starry skies in an area planned for camping and disrupt bird and sealife dependent upon natural cycles of light and dark. Stunning, culturally significant viewplanes would also be undermined by industrial-style development directly upslope. Along with known threats, other negative impacts on humans and the environment could occur.
2. "Find another location"
why not focus on a location that doesn’t pit neighbor against neighbor
(However, we won't suggest any -- but we reserve the right to object to your next picks, too.)
3. "Smart growth" (whatever that is), and be sure to mention Ceded Lands
there are more compatible uses of those ceded lands. Culturally, environmentally and "Smart Growth" appropriate ideas ... Akamai possibilities are vast, exciting and feasible on what are largely public lands.
4. Punchline: County is still building parks people don't want, while ignoring community-driven projects that clearly state what they do actually want.
