<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Sarai Santamaria <santamaria@berkeley.edu> <br />Sent:Monday, February 01, 2021 6:22 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:ITEM #16 <br />Hello City Staff, Council members, and Honorable Mayor, <br /> <br />I adamantly disagree with the proposal to remove handball courts and other outdoor facilities from our Santanita <br />Park. Our city loves the handball courts and they are a part of our outdoor traditions. This is the complete <br />opposite of park improvement and it robs our residents of outdoor activities that enrich our lives during a <br />worldwide pandemic where we find ourselves with an incredible need to find safe activities to do outside of our <br />homes. I would like to suggest that the city ask the community near Santanita Park what THEY would like to <br />see improved in their park. I am sure they will have plenty of viable ideas that will actually IMPROVE our <br />parks and be relevant to our community’s use of the park. In Santa Ana, we already have so few spaces to be <br />outside. Please don’t take from the little that we already have, especially not during these pressing times. <br /> <br />- Santamaría <br /> <br /> <br />-- <br />Cordialmente, <br /> <br />Saraí Joanna Santamaría Jurado <br />University of California, Berkeley <br />Interdisciplinary Studies Field, BA <br />1 <br />
