Concerns also mount over safety near a steep hill, wildlife disruption, drainage issues, and the irreversible impact of paving over nearly 1.7 acres of land. This isn’t just maintenance — it’s a fundamental shift in the trailhead’s soul. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
