What is to become of our parks which have now been turned into garbage dumps? Rats, raccoons, and insects are a certainty. What are the long term ramifications of these temporary garbage dumps and why should tax paying residents who live near these parks/garbage dumps have to tolerate vermin and stench? Since the city has closed all of its Green P parking lots, why weren’t they all simply designated as garbage dumps?
