Notable Quotes (4)
I am tired of looking at the map and seeing Ribinia open space park. So I firmly believe and want to impress that it should not in any case be named any park named after a development.
Objectives for this are making sure that the park names are easily identifiable and can locate people can locate those parks, recreation areas or facilities.
I think the parks should have a statement of purpose or a statement of intent, which each one individually, which might include a little description of the history... a public park for all residents of Corkran.
Please know we are not trying to take out trees that are healthy and great and wonderful. We're trying to clean up the space so that it can live for future years.
