A sad day for BBP. The communities surrounding the park have long advocated for attention to be paid to this entrance, with open-ness, safe passage into and out of the park. This entrance has not been designed well nor is there the openness we have long advocated - the landscaping is dark, scary and obscures sight lines. Time will tell the story of this tragic loss of life but to those who say people living inside the park will make it safer, clearly it will not. This happened within feet of the only occupied residential building in the park today. Judi Francis, President BBP Defense Fund
