Comments on: Montreal and core-urban Milton http://zhamid.ca/opinion/montreal-and-core-urban-milton/ Milton Town Councillor for Ward 8 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:33:50 +0000 hourly 1 By: Zeeshan Hamid http://zhamid.ca/opinion/montreal-and-core-urban-milton/comment-page-1/#comment-57 Zeeshan Hamid Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:10:48 +0000 http://www.zhamid.ca/blog/?p=63#comment-57 Thanks Emma. I am glad you like the blog :). I know the town is (slowly) updating older parks as well. One big one is the Brian Best Park that they recently had a public session on. I am not sure how they manage it. I would imagine as part of the budget they have some "park maintenance fund" that ensures that each park is kept at its optimum condition. Is there a specific park that you are concerned about? I can ping the town stuff to take a look at it. Thanks Emma. I am glad you like the blog :).

I know when my husband and I moved here, it was before we had kids, and I would have LOVED to live in a neighbourhood like that. Instead, since at that point we needed to rent, we wound up in one of the high-rise apartment buildings, which let's face it, are not the most charming places. You know what else I would like to see? More attention paid to the parks in Old Milton. We currently live in the older part of town, and our parks really suck compared to the stuff in the new parts of town. We wind up loading the kids into the car and driving over to Coates or Lion's Park or the one across from the A&P because those parks are great! I guess there's Rotary Park, but frankly it smells pretty bad down there a lot of the time, thanks to the chicken processing place. Anyway, I'm really enjoying your blog! Interesting post!
