As a neighbor living on Wilbur Avenue (for 25 years now), I have never been a proponent of this project. I have voiced my concerns at meetings alongside my fellow neighbors. Mr. Frazier (RIAC president) has stated " we want to make sure there is no disruption to the neighborhood." City Planner William DePasquale agreed saying " we want the neighborhood to have access , but we don't want it to become a parking lot." Councilwoman Vella-Wilkinson has also stated "I don't want the neighborhood inundated by outside traffic." How nice to say what you "want" and "don't want." I have learned, through the years of living here in Warwick, that what I want and don't want is nowhere near what ACTUALLY HAPPENS. I certainly don't begrudge the children of Warwick a wonderful place to play soccer, baseball, etc. My husband and I have 2 grown children that have both played various sports right here in Warwick. I just "don't want" my neighborhood to be used as a cut-through from Airport Rd to Warwick Ave. The houses (and friends) on Cedar Swamp Rd., Pembroke Ave., and Gayton Ave. are gone. The very large pieces of (de)construction equipment are working loudly outside my windows. The wonderfully old oak trees are being cut down as I type this. Is it really too much to ask that when this project is complete, I can enjoy the park without the added traffic - as so many of our elected and non-elected officials have promised. Let's see if what "I want" will be what "I get." In regards to the airport, Warwick's batting average is not so good. (and the PUN WAS INTENDED)
