I like the descriptor "temporarily able bodied" because it challenges the underlying stupidity of the exceptionalism principle.
Girls Taking Green Roots: Newcomer girls develop their leadership skills&beautify public spaces in Parkdale: http://www.culturelink.ca/program... #topoli
Wrap up is everyone is assigned tasks to return to the planners and deadlines & we will meet again later. Thanks for hanging out.
Some of the #GirlsTakingGreenRoots have been listening to everyone's ideas & drew West Lodge Park based on it. http://mypict.me/index...
Another woman is expressing concern about potable water & making sure there will be enough milkweed planted to support butterflies.
Community member says she's representing a lot of fruit insecure people in the neighbourhood that would benefit from fruit trees.
City Planner dudes point out - no one has talked about actual playground equipment they want.
City Planner guy to 13 yo kids - "can you design the skate park for West Lodge you want for me in a sketch?" "YES!!!" #ParkdaleTO
13 yo boy is saying they need cement ramps for skate parks b/c even in Dufferin Grove they might not skate b/c broken ramps. #ParkdaleTO
Lady is talking about they need a skate park in West Lodge Park for the kids because they get shooed off school grounds after hours.
West Lodge Park's plan will be incorporating accessibility compliance that will be required in 2025 because why slack off? #topoli
May not be a sound barrier along the rail corridor next to West Lodge Park. Haven't heard from Metrolinx.

About to have a presentation from Girls Taking Green Roots called "Where the Children Play in Parkdale."
Resident w view onto back area of West Lodge Park "It gets used for alcohol consumption. That's a use." #ParkdaleTO
There is a wide selection of playground equipment. Including rope-climbing equipment with trampolines in them. #Awesome
West Lodge Park possibilites: an area for community garden, "greening" the pathway, more benches & keeping central area open for events.
After observing current structures, the landscape architect has created an "opportunities map" detailing expansion proposals.
The City's Landscape Architect is explaining how current usage levels will determine planning best practices for revamp design.
The West Lodge Park improvements can also be done in phases if the "wish list" is too grand for immediate creation. #ParkdaleTO
West Lodge Park plan won't be up for approval from #TOCouncil til January 2014. #ParkdaleTO
The West Lodge Park improvements (aiming for the Spring/Summer of 2014) will be funded through Section 37 money. #ParkdaleTO
