That's silly when you have decrepit parks. In that area too!Yes, but that fund is for acquisition of new parkland only - not for repairs.

It's a waste of money. We have too many important infrastructure projects that are unfunded.
It would be a good idea to tie this into the proposed park that is part of the Garrison Point condo development.
Can't find out just who is paying for it, but there is this ...
That is the legal basis for which the City can demand these funds from developers. If the City tried to use it for other purposes, the developers would march to the OMB looking for it back.That's silly when you have decrepit parks. In that area too!
I don't have a problem with the mechanism. It's a great idea. But there are numerous areas in this city screaming for additional parks (some with very high development pressures and growth) and spending the whole budget on a single strip of grass downtown is a bit insulting.That is the legal basis for which the City can demand these funds from developers.

Plus some sources of funding (e.g. the park reserve) can only be used on exactly this type of thing...
