in the president of the friends of lafayette park. i can tell you that this project and the plans for the project is the result of a lot of community effort and a lot of community involvement with the recreation and parks department and with dpw staff, and with the private architect who has been engaged for the playground. there is a lot of support in the committee for this project. the process, the multiplicity of permits, we do not know about that. we were in charge of that. as president, i can speak for our group and speak for our neighbors and say that we do not want this project to be delayed. we want our part to open as soon as possible. right now, it is just a big pile of dirt. children have been displaced, dogs have been displaced, picknickers have been displaced. anyone who drives by it is impacted by this horrible mound of dirt that exists at this point for -- instead of our part. we would like to have this continued, the work continued as soon as possible and not delayed. we hope that you can -- will oppose the appeal becaus
