Hi Mayor Mehl,
My name is Colin O'Brien, and I'm a teacher at Sacajawea Middle School and a resident of the Legends subdivision.As much as it pains me to ask this, I'm writing to request that the city consider closing city parks, or at least thosewith play structures. There is evidence that Covid-19 can survive on stainless steel and plastic for days, if not weeks,even in cold temperatures. In our neighborhood, we have seen dozens of children playing on the structures over thecourse of a single day. Please consider closing these parks, as it would stop another vector of transmission as well assend a clear message to parents like myself that we should all be avoiding places where transmission an occur.
Thank you,Colin O'Brien
