Schmitz Park is blocks away, Genesee Hill school has trees and open space, east end of Me Kwa Mooks park is a few blocks away, Ecrolini park, Dakota and California Ave., plenty of parks and trees in short walking distances. No need for another greenspace.
I’d rather any toxins are removed, and if the overgrown and crowded trees need to go, have at them. If the new owner wishes to plant trees or not, great.

and Mary seems to gloss over the fact (yes, science here) that these sites are toxic. Agree with Fair’s fair. buy the properties if you want them.

If the neighbors love the space so much, they should pony up to buy it through a realtor in a competitive bid process. Why should the rest of the ratepayers in the city have to subsidize this neighborhood? Electric rates are too high already without sweetheart deals being cut.
