Schlegel Urban Developments Corp is requesting a zoning change in their subdivision planned for the Fischer-Hallman/Plains/Huron area (page 163).
One of the proposals is for Privately Owned and Maintained Publicly Accessible (POMPA) Parks where the "park ownership and maintenance model for this subdivision where by parks may be retained in private ownership, maintained jointly by property owners through condominium corporations, and which would remain fully publicly accessible..."
I'm not sure what I think about this concept yet, but I can't put my finger on why just yet.
I guess statements like this make it feel as though we are going to start creating different classes of parks based on who can afford to live near them:
"They wish to create a series of enhanced parks and landscape features throughout the Becker Estates neighbourhood which will contain features that are beyond the capacity of City Operations to maintain in perpetuity."

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
