We could not evaluate the plans at the time after the 30daytime, story poles were rearranged and we didnt get the benefit of the 30day notification period, which we would like to be reinstated so we can get a clear picture of what the project sponsor has in mind.

Pauline, charlie, and shada, three members of the boys and girls club who hangout at bodecker and will now have the opportunity to hangout at city center. We have an Elementary School student, a middle school student, and a high school student. Were so pleased to bring them up to say a few words. All right. Before i begin, the fact that everyone here today, everyones smile made my heart feel warm and tingly inside to fight the cold weather. I believe that playgrounds are important because it provides a safe place for children. I remember the park before the renovation. I remember as a child that this area was a danger zone that i should avoid. I remember finding myself repulsed by the smell emitting from the park, and then, it got renovated.
