These renovations will not only for their own benefit but for us guests as well. In my lovely hometown of <a href="http://infinityparkatglendale.com/park.php" rel="nofollow">Glendale, parks and recreations</a> are regularly checked and maintained so that the <a href="http://infinityparkatglendale.com/park.php" rel="nofollow">parks in Denver, Co</a>lorado will attract more visitors and will be a safe place to go to.Walter Tullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738291447494918638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149362212571632662.post-14688731496084780662010-08-26T16:48:21.603-04:002010-08-26T16:48:21.603-04:00To anonymous and the activists of FOWO --

The issue is not about making change -- its about making that change last.<br /><br />We should not have to fight the same fight over and over again <br /><br />The Parks Dept doesn't have enough resources and hasn't since the fiscal crisis of the '70s. No City Comissioner (except Police and Fire) wants to go to the boss and admit they can't make do with what they have. And no Mayor wants to say he needs more tax dollars to get the job done.(Trust me on this one -- I've worked at City Hall), and so the same problem returns periodically.<br /><br />So the parks folks move resources from place, to place, to place, and communities need to fight the same fight again every 10 to 15 years. <br /><br />That fight is very important, but so is the need for us to recognize that this happens in part when the loudest voices are saying that government is too big and too expensive.<br /><br />SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149362212571632662.post-83809581876882202582010-08-25T11:49:50.675-04:002010-08-25T11:49:50.675-04:00Sally: I agree and FOWO are working hard to tackl...Sally: I agree and FOWO are working hard to tackle problems of enforcement and lighting. Go to the FOWO's website and check out the video of the "Night Walk". As for enforcement, people need to attend the precinct meetings and badger the police for enforcement. There is no excuse for such a beautiful park being sooo neglected!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149362212571632662.post-69869985181177990362010-08-25T10:39:27.727-04:002010-08-25T10:39:27.727-04:00There has been a problem with enforcement and ligh...There has been a problem with enforcement and lighting in the Oval for years. No one is asking for anything special here, just that our park be maintained as others are around the city.<br />I remember going to a meeting when my son was small at the Oval that focused on the problem with lighting and enforcement in the Oval. I also remember saying that I didn't want to see other moms dealing with this years from then. The kicker of course is that my son just turned 35. <br />SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
