good to know you will not being spraying the stuff to kill the poison ivy near the playground or dog run...lord knows they do not need protection from poison ivy do they?
What is point?
Considering that the area around Blackwell Park is on the main route to the subway station the spraying might affect fewer adults if the spraying was performed at, say, 11 PM that by starting it a couple of hours before rush hours.
I am also amazed that children and dogs get special protection but older residents are left on their own.
