Here are the responses and messages we recieved from the Lebanon voters.
Rt.4/ Eastman Hill needs improvement as well as preservation.
Provide educational information about these places.
I support mountain biking! Don't cut us off!
We need a public beach.
Preserve as many places as possible.
Enough building already around Lake Mascoma! No more please!
No more strip malls! Work on rejuvenating downtown Lebanon instead! Let's
leave large tracts of farmland and nature intact, otherwise this area will
resemble countless other sprawling and overdeveloped small cities.
We need to save all waterways and areas from developement.
No [places should be conserved]
There needs to be a balance between housing and nature.
We need more housing.
Preserve all environments- Keep this area beautiful.
Leave the land in private hands.
Give the owners compensation for the land they loose.
Pave bike paths. large park with fields.
Add more bike and walking paths.
Everything is important.
Keep Boston lot open for biking.
Keep the railtrail.
Biking paths along main roads are needed.
Preserve as much nature as possible.
Why isn't there access to use the shorelands for the Connecticut River?
The land is important to preserve, but I feel a road from route 10 to DHMC
would save time to reach the hospital in an emergency and is an important
road to consider building.
I'm in favor of preserving as many open spaces as possible.
Let the Boston Lot stay as not to be told off.
Quarry Hill could be an outdoors-educational tool about the old days.
I'd like to see the Master Plan make explicit same provisions to keep open
underveloped as many of these areas as possible. The rural character of a
small city is one of the things that makes it special. We've preserved a few
(Boston Lot and Farnum Hill) but developement pressure on special places will
only grow more intense. If we don't set aside such areas, we'll lose them.
This could be done through zoning, through conservation easements or through
purchase.
Preserve open undeveloped spaces.
