Suspiciously, it has several factual errors, which I believe will <br />lead to biased decision making on the City Councils' part. <br />Error #1 Space required between a near team and long term solutions are different. This is <br />factually incorrect. It appears that someone who's desperately trying to get a Cricket field <br />built in Muirwood Park has used the max allowable space and labeled it as appropriate for <br />`near term'. Is there any data substantiating these numbers from Cricket associations the <br />world over? IIf so, please ask the Rec Commission to share publicly. It's as wrong as saying, <br />that in near term you only need a 3 feet wide road to drive a 6 ft wide car! <br />Error # 2 - area large enough for 180 ft radius. This is wrong and <br />significantly underreported. Area required for a cricket field is 137 to 150 meters. Please <br />find details here - Cricket Field - Wikipedia <br />
