Brian Flanigan's Bons Mots

Brian Flanigan, Planning Board Member, says that he is concerned about the park.

"The problem is that the public hasn't had a voice on this project....it's of a scope and of an intensity that may not be appropriate for this site.....This is really in the heart of a residential neighborhood.....The uses that I'm afraid that this intensity of development will preclude" are the passive uses, the spontaneous uses.

He is also concerned about turfing over the greensward. "If you're going to make that decision, it can't be made in a rush....If the only way out of this is to give Garwood the money, let's give it to Garwood.....Please, let's take more time with this and give more consideration to the intangible aspects of it."

Brian enjoyed two rounds of applause.
