Protect our Parks.
Get Involved.
A narrow vote,
a strong voice.
With measure K passed, our community’s mandate is clear. We are now dedicated to strict oversight: ensuring the housing footprint does not expand and that MLK Park remains fully accessible for everyone.
Keep the City Accountable
The city has promised specific parameters of 32’ height limits, 50 units, prioritized for seniors. We are making sure all of these criteria are not exceeded, and that not a single blade of grass is disrupted.
The Park Must Not Be Sold
A deep dive into the text of Measure K shows that it would authorize any real estate transaction, including sale and abandonment by any City Council majority in the future. We are taking actions to make this not happen.
Keep parks accessible
Measure K removes protection from public parking, and would limit access to community recreation areas, including pickleball, field, tennis, baseball, and basketball courts. City council has promised to maintain the current parking capacity despite the addition of 50 units. We are making sure the park remains accessible regardless of how you get there.
Keep MLK lease revenue
MLK tenants provide one of the city’s largest revenue streams. Limiting access and parking would threaten this much-needed revenue which has historically paid for the much needed maintenance and improvements of our parks, including the recent improvements at Dumphy park.
Partnerships should be transparent
The city's claims of a unique partnership with Rotary for integrated, modest-scale affordable housing, yet Rotary stated there had been no meaningful conversations about the project when the MLK site was selected. We need our council members and city staff to be transparent about who they are making promises to on our behalf.
