Carlsbad City Council
Carlsbad, California
Dear Councilmembers:
The Carlsbad City Council should listen to the over-
whelming negative sentiment regarding the Split Pavilian
park and do whatever is necessary to correct this
mistake. This is not an issue regarding art. This is pul
land that we pay for. The citizens and taxpayers of
Carlsbad want this park mistake corrected.
This problem needs to be dealt with by the City Counc
not the Arts Commission. It is you who need to take respc
sibility and take action that is sensitive to the desires
of your Carlsbad citizens. Please do not insult me by
setting up committees and groups to talk to Ms. Blum.
Only the Carlsbad City Council can correct this mistake.
is your responsibility and duty to listen to your citizen:
Until the park is changed, it will serve as an irrit,
billboard with a strong message regarding our local goveri
