Jones: What you're talking about right
now is how our thinking manifests itself

In addition there was a small group of residents who claim

this park as their own and had a very efficient campaign of
“ misinformation about the sport and its impacts on both ”
people and the environment.
Moving forward, we will need to do far more outreach to the
community leading up to a public proposal to get ahead of

“ efforts like these. We will need to go to people's homes

(tough during covid-19) and not just the park itself ”
