Mayor Ivan Court says there's a lot of misleading information being circulated about what the city plans to do with Rockwood Park and some people may have signed a petition on false pretenses which he finds offensive.
The Mayor says the Rockwood Park Advisory Board met in late September and made several recommendations which do not include moving the zoo or the golf course.
If anything, Court says the city wants to make the park larger and establish a new trail. As for future development along Sandy Point Road, Court says it would be low to medium density housing meaning no apartment buildings and no vinyl siding.
Common Council, a few years ago, spent five million dollars to install water and sewage services along Sandy Point Road for future development.
