I totally agree with the editorial published in the Review criticizing how "the City" (who is the City"?) pushed for its own design for Strawberry Park as a "passive park", just because "they" had decided it was the best way to go. I happen to be totally against this approach since Strawberry Park is a key opportunity to provide a real public park for the downtown Winslow that badly needs it. Contrary to the Review I still think the community, us the people, can derail the City plan, as we did for Grow Avenue when they wanted to cut all the trees and create sidewalks without any plan to reduce the speed of the cars on our street.
Neighbors banded together and we blocked this project that would have destroyed the feel of our community.
I hope we can do the same for Strawberry park and get an active park instead of the "passive"one they want to force upon us.
It looks like the hours have been changed from what was announced in Review: the meeting is now taking place in the afternoon from 1 to 5 (instead of the morning). Nothing was posted on the city's website (that I could find).
