Around Town! yes - Commissioner Sommer IMO should think about, is More Money "the top priority", OR a great focused Plan that will meet the needs of those virtually un-parked “especially so because five of the nine planning areas within this town have virtually no parks,"(resident Jim Zaorski).
Like neighborhoods without neighborhood schools (improved = Vargas) I think the entire first effort (funds and planning / formal Phase One) need to be in those 5/9 "high needs" areas. The entire South of El Camino area does not need more park investment (right now, or after 'the residential building' boom). We are 'well parked' down here!
[ the center of town (Eagle Park/Mercy-Bush/Landels fields) and Rengstorff Park areas seem not too bad off.]
The Elephant / eminent domain: the compensated taking of private land for public purpose / needs to be used judiciously to expand some parklands IN THE AREAS-OF-HIGHEST-NEED.
