FRIENDSHIP PARK EIR VOTE TO OCCUR NOVEMBER 2ND!

On November 2nd the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will vote to
approve the Environmental Impact Report that will result in the
destruction of Friendship Park. We need your help now! Please call your
Supervisor and urge that they do not approve this EIR!

History:
At the request of Supervisor Dana, Friendship Park has been renamed �Deane
Dana Friendship Park�. A 4 million dollar, 6,600 square foot "nature
center"  and 66-car parking lot is planned to be built at the apex of the
hill, in the center of what is now undeveloped land.  The hill will be
graded and excavated, destroying the natural site and most of the local
plant and animal habitat as well as a 5,000 year old Native American
village-archeological site. Dana, who is retiring after his current term,
has planned for the center to be completed in August 1996, just before the
expiration of his term in November 1996.

Arguments have been made to relocate the "nature center" so that it abuts
adjacent, developed Bogdanovich Park, leaving Friendship Park in it's
current undeveloped state. These arguments have fallen on deaf ears. 

It is understandable why Dana wants the building: it will be a monument to
his tenure as a County Supervisor. It is incomprehensible why he wants to
ruin such a beautiful place to do it. It is unbelievable that he thinks he
will be thanked for it.  

PLEASE CALL OR FAX YOUR COUNTY SUPERVISOR NOW!
