It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Interesting, a park being used by by families and schools in an urban environment?! How dare they!! What about the dog only sections, they’re no better and most people don’t want to plop down for a picnic or have their kids play in an area where dogs are shitting and running free. They’re just as bad. Lack of sun and overuse by ALL. Thank your demigod Fulop for over developing and not having any foresight into infrastructure.

The neighborhoods listed were included simply due to inclusivity and the nature of travel in urban environments. Having access to a bus line <15mins away is likely not sufficient to meet all travel needs or preferences of a community. Also, when someone reconsiders living in a neighborhood because access to a train or light rail is 15mins away can indicate that more can be done to make living in those areas more convenient for all.

Are there any organizations that raise awareness against the reckless JCBOE spending? It’s ridiculous that these people don’t get voted out with how much they inconvenience tax payers. Think of how expensive property is in this city and the city takes a percentage of all those super inflated property values and somehow still manages to say it’s not enough year after year.

Yes I use the bus to get around the city and to NYC. I live a block from Central where the 119 stops on every block so it’s just the easiest means of transportation. I do most of my shopping and errands on Central as well so I mostly walk around unless the weather isn’t great. Taking the path adds another step since I don’t live within walking distance.
