Reply to comment by Jahooodie in Hamilton Park Dog Park Mayhem by idankflip

I guess I just don't see what people expect the city to be doing that they aren't doing. It doesn't own a bunch of land to make parks DT and it is getting some givebacks to get parks when the opportunity arises while also trying to require affordable housing, which lowers what else you can ask for.

There's a new park on Cole, one on 8th between Grove and Marin. There will be at least open space in the Shorite development. The Newport Green area is relatively new. They're putting something behind City Hall. Morris Sq is new. The area around the Colgate Clock is finally starting to open up.

Many of the big buildings also come with small dog parks.

The parks you mention are a pittance and nowhere near what is typical in other dense cities.

OK, that's not a proposal. Where is the land and money coming from for new parks DT that are the size of VVP?

What, exactly, are you expecting the city to do? Buy and raze a block for a new park?
