I sent a letter to every member of the North York Community council when they were deliberating on this proposal. In short, I stated my opinion that while it would seen logical and reasonable to have the park developed using private funds through the sale of land, in the long-term interests of this city this idea is insane. This is a one in 500 year opportunity to preserve a chunk of land in the heart of the metropolitan area for non-development usage. In the long-term it would be far better to do nothing on this site, let it go fallow, until such a time as leadership in this city can implement a reasonable strategy to move forward. I would much prefer nothing to happen here in my life-time than for this proposal to be implemented.
