First Mayor Tim KELLER KILLS CORONADO PARK by his inaction, apathy and no regard for the neighbors, followed by his decision to sell the nearby dog park to Creamland Dairy with no neighborhood input. He then rearranges the Wells Park Center’s expansion to his liking, contrary to input from neighbors. All concrete, no green space. CM
I visit Montgomery Park daily. Lately I have noticed an increase in the number of apparent LOITERING HOMELESS individuals and a decrease in the number of children playing. I suspect that young mothers do not feel their children are safe and have sought alternative places to play. KH
