Once again, Seniors don't count. in OV.
How about a Senior Center or a center where any group in OV could
hold meetings......instead of a dog park!!
Yes. It seems, at the moment, as though there is a momentum shift to providing for the youth of the community. This is not a bad thing. It is simply what it is.
Marlene - as a senior myself, I see this O.V. council move as a wedge to build the greater project denied them a few years ago when the bond initiative went down.
Don't get your panties in a bind over the dog park. This Naranja land was previously an industrial site, and probably contaminated then. More than a decade ago, a high school was slated for the site, but after soil analysis showed contamination, the school was relocated to the current site of Ironwood Ridge.
I don't understand why you believe seniors don't count. You can have meetings at the library, at the senior center in Sun City, at most any church, at El Conquistador, etc.
toughteri...We are woefully short of park space in this community using any reputable measurement standard. There is not a single dedicated senior softball field in Oro Valley.
So, . . . your point is. . .?
I would not refer to it as a wedge but as an initial step to get closer to where we need to be. Unfortunately going about this in a piecemeal fashion will be far more costly that doing it all at once.
