The article “75% of North American chicken species in decline” (Could 2, Nation & World) hits house regionally, because of the potential harm to Magnuson Park’s wetland chicken well being which may be coming down the pike quickly.
Seattle Parks and Recreation plans to construct an 80,000-square-foot, 25-court pickleball advanced inside a stone’s throw of the wetlands preserves by which we invested $3 million of our metropolis taxpayer funds and hundreds of thousands extra in different public cash about 20 years in the past. Impacts from noise and lightweight air pollution have up to now been downplayed or ignored. Parks’ Magnuson Park proposal comes after the sound defeat of a smaller pickleball challenge proposal in West Seattle’s Lincoln Park, attributable to public outrage over comparable chicken impacts.
It is perhaps time for the Seattle Metropolis Council to start out being attentive to Parks’ insensitive environmental report and totally deal with this challenge’s impacts on chicken populations, human wetlands path customers and close by residents
