A proposal for a dock at Grass Creek Park (a student's Civil Engineering project)
1 - Grass Creek Park
CITY PURCHASES LAND adjacent to Grass Creek Park.
That's good, but the announcement is prefixed with:
...in accordance with municipal policies for developing and sustaining public access to the City's waterfront.
... which is baloney, also here, citing two much closer and pertinent counterexamples from just last week alone.
Also, looking at the photo, there's really not much new waterfront there. So the whole waterfront angle to this story appears a little overblown.
Update: A report from the August 24th edition of the Whig Standard, which leads with:
Kingston has taken one more step toward securing the public use of its waterfront by purchasing 45 acres of riverside property on the city's far east side.
Now GRASS CREEK PARK BEACH IS POSTED due to E. Coli.
