More Parkland Update
In a closing gesture Mayor Dorothy Appleyard and other Council members tried to register enough votes to widen the new linear park along the northeast corner of Dunkley Avenue. With 2 Council members absent, a vote of 3-2 wasn’t the required majority to approve the land. After so much time and comment from citizens, it was a sad adieu to the year.
Will the land be voted on with the new incoming Council?
Mother Nature seems to be ruling the scene right now - a heavy lakeshore snowstorm put over a foot of snow in the path of many on Monday, January 4th, making an emergency situation that closed City Hall and consequently canceled the Monday night meeting due to install the new mayor, Bob Burr, and new Council. The event happened on January 5th.
If the New Year brings in tidings of good will, we can only hope that the linear park issue will be addressed again.
CPA has a great plan for the area which will soon be displayed on our new website. We’ll direct you to it once it’s finalized, probably in a week or two.
Happy New Year!
