As and advocate for Camp Coldwater Springs and Minnehaha Park for the past 5 years I am not surprised by the negative impact to Coldwater Springs by the construction of the Highway 55. I am surprised to see Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton, County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, City Council Member Sandy Colvin Roy participating in a lawsuit to stop the damage to Coldwater Springs by the construction of Highway 55.
I have had dozens of conversations over the years expressing my concern about the negative impact of dewatering/drawdown on Coldwater Springs with Mayor Sayles Belton, Peter McLaughlin, and Sandy Colvin Roy. I have been reassured countless times that NO negative impact would occur from the construction of Highway 55 on Coldwater Springs. My negative opinion of the project was based on information given to me from people who work in the highway construction industries. When expressing my opinion to these politicians, I was treated like an reactionary extremist that should find something better to do with my life. I thought informing elected officials to the damage was smart and pro-active. Thank you Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton, Commmisioner McLaughlin, Council Member Colvin Roy for coming to the table years too late. Your reactive behavior is a shining example of why the public has lost complete trust in your leadership.
Sincerely,
Ken Bradley, Minneapolis, 612-728-8962
