A citizen delegation has raised concerns with the Environmental Commission of Deputies regarding deforestation and potential noise pollution in Roosevelt Park, a major metropolitan green space. The group alleges tree felling is occurring within the park and is demanding access to acoustic impact reports related to planned events involving temporary structures – specifically, concerts. They argue these events will negatively impact the park’s ecosystem. The delegation presented their concerns to lawmakers, seeking transparency from the local municipality regarding environmental assessments. Officials have not yet publicly responded to the allegations. The group fears the combination of tree removal and amplified sound will cause significant, lasting damage to the park’s environmental health. They are pushing for greater oversight and protection of this vital urban green lung.
