K, l aim a Raleigh native and have Ibeein bilking, Inflking, and iruinnling out at Umstead State
Park, L.ake Crabtree, and the gireeinway oin OM Reedy Greek Road for over the past 25 years.
It has (become so Ipopullair that a inew Ipairking lot has Ibeein Ibulillt to accommodate allll the cars.
There have Ibeein iraces, giroup outings, and mainy, mainy llin6viidualls that have used the area
for fitiness and getting outdoors. The Ilaind offers a irellease from our daily girllind and the
�pervasive anxieties that willl inot go away. Rlease don't make us fight for room agallinst the
duimptrucks and the dust and the ii that are sure to take over. The existing quarry creates
einough of that already. Also understand that l like RDU Airport and what it offers. If the RDU
Authoir9lty ineeds more cashflow to sustallin it's activities ... l understand that. 1But please don't
allow any expansion within a 250 foot Ibuffeir around the roads and tralOs. The quarry ineeds to
�be out of sight and out of mind. Rlease accept the Coins eirvation Fund's offer. That Ilaind is so
valluable to me I'd even chip lin, allbellt inot einough. l siinceirelly hope you allll do the ir9iglht thing llin
preserving the Ilaind and the peace of mind it offers. &inceirelly, 1Bein W61veirtoii Raleigh NC
