Vine Parkette is Flush with cash- Will they spend it without your input?





In August of 2006 the community had a meeting in Vine Ave Parkette with the local councilor and the park manager -  the outcome was... the money wasn't there to replace the equipment, and this sort of thing took a long time. Well someone in the parks department has does a great job and by using development charges levied on developers has put together $40000.00 which is just short of $7000.00 of the $47000.00  the parks manager stated would be the ballpark price to replace the playground equipment.

A long time has passed...the community has been quietly and trustfully waiting...

Well isn't it time we all contacted the parks department and asked them to accept the communities input?
