Subject: Support for Ponto Park – A Smart Future for Carlsbad

Dear Mayor Blackburn and City Council Members,

I urge you to support the creation of Ponto Park and ensure that Carlsbad’s last open coastal space is developed responsibly. South Carlsbad has zero dedicated coastal parks, despite a documented park deficit in the area. The California Coastal Commission has emphasized the need for public recreation, and now is the time to act.

We are not anti-development, but Ponto should be developed wisely, with balanced planning that includes open space, coastal access, and a much-needed park. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve green space for families, protect our coastline, and ensure our community has access to outdoor recreation.

Please take a leadership role in making Ponto Park a reality. Carlsbad deserves smart, responsible growth that benefits both residents and visitors. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
