Subject:"Parks and Recreation meeting 12/6/17-North Broad Neighborhood Park"
Dear Members of the Parks and Recreation Commission-
The Parks and Recreation 2017 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT omits any reference to the
Northern neighborhood park. Procuring funding for a neighborhood park in this area has
been a long and frustrating process.
Please support the Northern neighborhood park in the North Broad area.
It was disappointing that in the just-released 2017 Annual Report no mention is made of
what happened to the original $900,000 dedicated park fund. It was reduced to
$740,000 at Shelly Stanwyck's request. Her original request, by the way, was to move
$640,000 out of this earmarked fund. Thankfully, the public spoke up loud and clear!
The Council reconsidered and transferred $160,000 to underwrite the cost of consulting
fees for the Parks and Recreation Update. Although the $160,000 has never been
replaced, the $740,000 should be preserved.
Please uphold the $740,000 for a park in our neighborhood.
Thank you.
