Subject: There’s an online petition to reopen Jordan Lake rec area before July 1
Looks like some folks can’t wait until all the boat ramps at Jordan Lake open up.
They feel that waiting to Open Jordan Lake Recreational Area until July 1st is Unacceptable!
NC State Parks has stated two reasons why the ramps and trails at Jordan Lake can not be opened at this time.
– Prior to closing the park, many people who were not boating were parking at these ramps and congregating in the nearby day-use areas.
– Park visitors have asked could the parks be open, but close the bathrooms. We have tried that approach and the public started urinating and defecating next to and around our bathroom facilities creating another health hazard.
A individual by the name of Christian O’Hara has started an online petition to get the Jordan Lake area reopened before that date.
The petition is addressed to the attention of Governor Roy Cooper, Park Superintendent for Jordan Lake Mole Shederick, plus state representatives Robert T. Reives and Valerie P. Foushee.
