GoApe was withdrawn from consideration for Greensfelder after public forums raised too many objections.  This time it was just put on the STL county council agenda for Creve Coeur park instead, with no public notice at all.  Multiple objections: environmental impact in a tree canopy where MDC-listed 'imperiled bird species' have been reported, and no impact study has been done; traffic/noise; not consistent with the existing Creve Coeur Park Master Plan; a for-profit business making it's money in a public park.  

I enjoy this type of 'adventure' myself, but we at least need a chance for the public to have input into how our parks are being used.  

Let's lobby for public forums:

If the contract were iron clad, so that the park maintained all the rights in case it didnt work out, I am all for it! The parks could use the revenue and im sure the profit from the boat races went into someone's pockets over the years? Sounds like a great idea!

I am very much opposed to private company being able to use a St Louis County park to operate a for profit business.
