Caution: The article below entitled "SE looking to be more green", may induce vomiting. The words hypocrisy and absurd come immediately to mind. The current decision makers at City Hall who are on the public dime and supposed to act on their behalf, have managed to successfully promote the destruction of some of the last remaining forested areas of the City. They have displayed rampant disregard for the citizens' outcries and concerns for the sake of development and developers. A chummy relationship with those willing to help bolster a political resume has superseded the
responsibility owed to the taxpayer doling out the cash to pay their ever-increasing salaries. So what if the acres upon acres of irreplaceable
greenspace are mowed down in the name of "progress"?
Now, suddenly in an attempt to appease on paper because the natives are becoming aware and restless there is a concern with nature?
- Greenvale can NOT be considered "greenspace" by any stretch of the term.
- A "splash park" in lieu of a former city pool is not "greenspace".
Meanwhile, the City has battled entire neighborhoods in court to force the approval of inappropriate cluster housing in perhaps the last of the truly unique areas of South Euclid despite the outrage of the people.
- Will their alleged sudden awakening inspire new legislation to eliminate the highly controversial "PURD", otherwise known as Planned Unit Residential Development?
- Will City Council enact legislation to reduce the density of new housing projects being forced down residents throats in established neighborhoods?
We question the sincerity of these banner-waving efforts in the name of the environment considering almost all the previous actions at City Hall have proved to be the opposite.
