The power of Ptarmigan Trail
The Trail-Gazette's "heat map index" of petition signers by street lacked any indication of multiple signatures from the same street. Look at the names extracted from the packet below, and count the number of signatures originating from Ptarmigan Trail. Then go back and add in the signatures from the neighboring Red Tail Hawk Drive (also spelled as Redtail Hawk Drive), and see NIMBY in action. If you walked away from the Trail-Gazette graphic with the strong sense that the signatures were obtained from all over town, blame the graphic, because it was horribly misleading. The signatures were clustered in a major way opposite the location of the proposed mountain coaster. What the Trail-Gazette attempted was a good intention paving the road to hell. We need better journalism, because why go to the trouble of obtaining copies of the petitions and not make a point of the most obvious fact emerging from the petitions?
