They paved paradise, put up a parking lot It’s no wondeone west end esident complained to the City about dog pakuses’ sloppy paking habits sometimes blocking theidiveway … But to oll up the gass & pave the geen aea adjacent to the ecycling depot to povide paking fothe nev e-moe-than-5-cas-at-a-time that pak in the Canfod Ave. cul-de-sac, is dastic & ill-conceived in the exteme! Seems to be that eve-encoaching industi alization eating up the geen space which began with emoving the ball diamond fothe ecycling depot a few yeas ago. It may also be a peva ding copoate mentality & unwillingness to bing us es & es- idents togetheto bainstom good solutions. Makes me wondewhee it’ll all end. Had they asked me , I’ d have suggested putting up sig nage that d og pa k use s an gle pak against the chain link fence, just like eveyone one does at Voght Pak. Poblem solved, gass maintained! City mgMatt Noble said he eceived the complaint, and since they had the popety, they made the decision: no need foconsultation, no need foa diff eent pespe ctive. Just li ke the last time .
