I'd like to hear more about item 8, the rehabilitation of the Motorgate garage. That has a greater impact on our daily lives than your obsession with the FDR memorial.

I also agree with this comment by the user above. Who really cares about south point park. I am sure 90% of you don't even go down there on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
The motorgate looks like it is falling down. Please help the motorgate.
