General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[danbrotherston]

A big part of it may simply be that the streetscape has not been updated. When you compare with North (West) of Frederick, that section was rebuilt not too long ago, and looks much newer and more modern.

But more greenspace is always good.

As an aside, there are some confusing things on the map.  For some reason, Frederick Mall is shown in green on the map.

Also, it seems slightly misleading to show cemetaries as green. I mean, they are in some ways greenspace, but fairly different from a park.  I'm also unclear if "Kaufman Park" which appears to be the school yard for CHCI is actually a park or not.  Again, these are somewhat dubious claims, but it makes the area appear to have far more greenspace than it really does.

Kaufman Park does incorporate the playing fields, tennis courts and the kids play park (tucked in the far corner).  I regularly take the dog there for a run and it is a pretty substantial open area.

How do you get in? It's a wall along Stirling, everything else appears to be walking into the school yard.

I'm always a little wary of walking onto school property...maybe I shouldn't be, but it's not without cause, I was hassled rather....aggressively, when I was in University but returned to my old school to congratulate a favourite teacher on retirement.
