CM PRESS # 229


FAIRVIEW PARK SHOULD NOT ONLY REMAIN NATURAL--IT SHOULD BE MADE MORE NATURAL THAN THE MASTER PLAN CALLS FOR

Those who want to incrementally change Fairview Park to include their favorite pet projects--a skateboard facility, more parking lots, more paved trails, more restrooms, sports fields and you name it-- are saying that the master plan for the park is a living document and is not set in stone. "It can be revisited and changed. Why, it's something of an open door."

Okay. An open door for one is an open door for all. The CM PRESS is walking through it. Thanks for the invitation.

The CM PRESS thinks the master plan goes too far toward the artificial.

We want to remove as much of the artificial as possible from the master plan. No more asphalt. No more concrete. No more buildings. No playing fields. No dog park. No skateboard facility.No plants that have to be on extraordinary life support with on going expenses for city "nurses" to keep them alive in an environment where they are, by definition, not natural (because they can't naturally exist without such life support).

And, while we're at it, how about getting Placentia Avenue out of the middle of our park?
