State and local issues affecting southwestern Greenwich

Church St. Pocket Park / El Pocket Park de Church St.

There’s a lot of building going on in Byram. Construction of the Pocket Park on Church St that overlooks the Byram River is underway. Now it’s no secret, especially since I made every effort I could to get print and radio news coverage, that I organized a protest against this park. Everyone interested and a lot of people who aren’t interested know my objections and aside from acknowledging the past, I don’t want to go into it here. I lost, they won and we move on because there are plenty of things we all do agree on.

 

This marks the end of a very long effort by several of Byram’s leaders to get this park built. I’ll mention the names I know: Bea Walko, Jo Conboy, Paul Pugliese and Mike Bocchino. All of these people should be acknowledged for their efforts in Byram. Congratulations on your achievement in getting this done, finally. Here’s some pictures, for the record, of the start of construction.

Spanish Version:

El Pocket Park de Church St.

 

Hay mucha construcción entrando a Byram.  La construcción del Pocket Park por la Church St. apenas empieza.  No es ningún secreto, especialmente después de todos mis esfuerzos de conseguir seguimientos informativos en los periódicos y de la radio, que organicé una protesta contra el mismo parque.  Cada una persona con  interés a este tema incluso otras personas sin el mismo nivel de interés entienden mis objeciones y aparte de reconocer el pasado, no quiero escribir de eso aquí.  Perdí, ganaron y nos movemos adelante porque hay un montón de cosas en que si estamos acuerdo.

 

Esto marca el final de un esfuerzo muy largo de varios lideres de Byram para conseguir la construcción de este parque.  Mencionaré los nombres que reconozco: Bea Walko, Jo Conboy, Paul Pugliese y Mike Bocchino.  Toda esta gente debía ser reconocida por sus esfuerzos en Byram.  Felicitaciones por sus logro en conseguir este hecho, finalmente.  Aquí están algunas fotografías, a título de indicación, del comienzo de la construcción.
