Dear Piedmont City Council:Â
I am a Piedmont resident who is opposed to permanently converting the Linda Beach courts to a permanent, exclusive pickleball-only facility. I believe this project is [choose one or more from suggestions below]
Based on inadequate engagement with and input from the Linda Beach neighborhood
Presents unacceptable safety impacts related to parking and traffic at Beach Elementary School
Presents unacceptable noise impacts at other spaces in the Linda Beach area — [homes, Beach School, Schoolmates, the tot lot, the Grassy Field ]— that will affect the ability of my family to enjoy these spaces
Unfairly subsidizes pickleball over tennis by, for example, requiring fees and reservations for tennis but not for pickleballÂ
Has the potential to adversely affect the value of my home
Displaces the Linda Beach Conceptual Master Plan which was based on extensive engagement and input from the Linda Beach neighborhood and expressly removed pickleball from the final plan
I ask that the City Council continues evaluating the decision for permanent, exclusive pickleball-only facility at the Linda Beach courts and take into account new information presented about the noise nuisance for nearby neighbors. I also ask that City Council asks the Recreation Director to enforce the approved rules for hours of play and noise-reducing equipment, and discuss penalties for rule violations.Â
