the "greenway" that leads to the ocean parkway greenway in brooklyn is also in desparate need of repairs... weeds, cracks, uneven sidewalks - scary!

Did you know that the 98% of the entire workforce on the ground at Parks is from welfare-to-work programs. That's sick. Um, why? It seems to me that most of the parks are in projects anyway.

Parks has all but abandoned maintenance of bike greenways south of 125th St. Check out Harlem River greenway between 155th and Dyckman--weeds, garbage, park benches engulfed by overgrowth; Van Cortlandt Park: weeds have been gradually taken over parts of the greenway, within eyeshot of the Parks office, yet they haven't been cut in 2 summers now. Fort Washington Park: needs another "no cars in the park" campaign. Cars drive on the greenway, park on the grass. Parks & NYPD's actual policy in Ft. Washington Park? Wink & Nod at the scofflaws and then tell everyone who complains that it's someone else's job, or that nothing more can be done.

Tenney Park is trapped forever in 2005. Or Jen Chung is.
