Park aid delayed by GOP opposition in City Council
Common Council members split as GOP Majority Leader James Walsh says a $234,000 West Moreland Park rehab will be defeated until the Alexander administration explores buying the Jewish Community Center on East Genesee Street for a neighborhood recreation and service campus. Walsh questions allocating park funds before a larger, superior East Side center is seriously considered and notes broader center success in other city areas. Police and Fire chiefs back the park plan to ease youth gang tensions, while councilor Bernard Mahoney challenges the premise and doubts a single facility will solve neighborhood issues.
