go to meetings that they don't want to attend but I talked to many people about it <br />openly. <br />At our National Night Cut party, we discussed it with many of the neighbors and they <br />were supportive of the Idea. A group of us talked to the various Council Members <br />attended — Matt Look, David Jeffrey and Mayor Camec — and they said they would <br />support it. <br />This notion that everything was done against our will, without our Input and in secret Is <br />complete hogwash, <br />Myth 5: They Want to close 142'' Avenue just so they can put a park on that site. <br />Facts; This is such a long -shot that it's not even worth mentioning or considering, but <br />yes 1 did say that "a park would be nice" while brainstorming out loud in a conversation <br />with Mr, Creb about what could be done with a decommissioned piece of road.
