How would you like this to be your front yard?

Today was a great day. The pavement has happily not been laid yet, and we enjoyed putting our feet and connecting with our Mother Earth without any ashphalt or fences getting in our way. We went out and connected with beautiful children, teenagers, and adults who all care about what happens in their back yards.

Not one person walking through Dragon Alley during the busy rush hour after school and work was able to tell us that they had received any information about this parking lot project.

Our location for our community meeting has not yet been set, and it happens at 6:30pm tomorrow! Is it really going to happen? Councillor Giambrone's office suggested that we meet at the community centre/restaurant that stands to gain the most from 30+ new parking spaces.

If you're looking for free parking, the site is not monitored at this point. Tons of children walk through these alleys during their jaunt to and from school, and there is no increased signage or speed bumps to ensure that these children are going to be safe from cars vying for a free parking spot.

Let's ensure that not one child ends up seriously injured or dead because we've got too many cars and no safety measures in a small, overcrowded space that is right on the edge of St. Helen's School.

Stay tuned, more to come....
