Clearing up a few missteps about TeWinkle Park plan
I stubbed my toe in my attempt to clarify the facts surrounding the
Parks and Recreation Commission’s TeWinkle Park Master Plan
recommendations to the City Council. In my Aug. 29 letter to the
Daily Pilot, I wrote that the commission’s recommendation to retain
the corner of Junipero and Arlington as an alternate skateboard park
site “supercedes whatever recommendation the Planning Commission
hatches on this matter.”
Not so. The fact is, the City Council will consider
recommendations from both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the
Planning Commission. The actions of either commission do not
supercede the actions of the other. I’m sorry for the error.
The main point of my letter -- to correct the implication that our
skate park decision still needs “to get the approval of the Planning
Commission...” -- is accurate.
