Franklin Park's helipad
By adamg - Sun, 04/29/2007 - 10:01pm.
City Councilors Chuck Turner, Charles C. Yancey and Sam Yoon hold a hearing on Tuesday, May 1 on why the city decided to put a police helipad in Franklin Park.

... Please come out to show that this is unacceptable in our park. The hearing offers an opportunity to question how city officials could've considered Franklin Park's Playstead as "vacant land" suitable for helicopter landings in the first place. A big showing on Tuesday protesting the helicopters will help send the message that Franklin Park - and all parks - must be treated as protected land, not as available space for whatever's needed. ...
The hearing is at the Franklin Park golf-course clubhouse.

More noise in addition to
More noise in addition to the usual planes, trains, automobiles, sirens, and occasional gunshots. Can't wait.
Even though I don't reside right in Boston, I'm aware that
who's ever proposing that a helicopterpad be put in Franklin Park's playstead sounds like they need a serious, heavy-duty reality check. It doesn't sound like it'll bode at all well for the city or for its parks, if more helicopterpads get put in.
Not a good idea at all, imho.
Not "right in Boston"...
Or in Boston at all, really.
it would be an equally bad idea in any park
so don't bring it to the Middlesex Fells or Alewife Reservation or Danehy Park either. (I'm not in Boston either, but does that mean I can't express an opinion?)
Well, no, but you don't feel
Well, no, but you don't feel the need to point out where you don't live, do you?
