not the CPD, it's a private entity trying to get this going. we're fighting it, signing petitions, etc.  the biggest argument is do boat owners/users outnumber the people who currently use this park? No.

well that makes it an even worse idea!

that part of town desperately needs MORE green space, not less!

Glad you brought that up Tim. A guy came up to us at the workday Saturday and showed us the boatyard plans and all. We all signed his petition and said we'd spread the word. I see it's going around on FB now.

It needs to do that. This boat club idea is bad, bad, bad.

I'll post this in the "whatever" forum - it gets more traffic. perhaps mods can post this on the main page. Share it on FB.
