Are there any park features that you would like to see added to Southbridge Park?

During soccer games, the parking situation feels dangerous. Cars park on both sides of S Prescott St (leaving a narrow path for two-way traffic), children run into the street from in between parked cars, drivers make unpredictable U-turns in the middle of the street, etc.

Two suggestions come to mind:
1) Use signs to attempt to encourage through traffic (using the loop of S Windemere Street, S Prescott Street, and W Kettle Ave)
2) Designate the North side of S Prescott St as 45-degree diagonal, pull-in parking with painted parking spots. Forbid parking on the South side of S Prescott St. This way there are more parking spots on the Southbridge Park side of the street, children do not have to cross the street, drivers should be able to better see vehicles pulling out of parking spots (and vice-versa), and it encourages folks leaving the park to continue forwards and turn right onto W Kettle Ave.
New play structures for children ages 2-5 & 5-12 years are being proposed. Which playground equipment option do you prefer?
No response.
Are there any park features that you think should be left as they are?

If I'm reading the proposal correctly, the plan is to remove a tree and an ADA-compliant curb cutout? I would like to see all trees preserved (if possible) and if anything, even more shade trees added.

Again, it appears you're removing one wheelchair cutout and adding another - why not leave both?

It says you're removing the chain link fence around the basketball court - I think that's just to enlarge it to a full size court? But I always thought the chain link fence was a nice feature to keep your errant passes and shots from rolling away (especially towards the parking lot)

What is a disruptive statement?

A statement

containing personal attacks, profanity, commercial advertising or content which is entirely off-topic, and/or
from a user who has falsified their registration information with the intent to post multiple statements in one topic or to misrepresent their city of residence.

Why does Open Town Hall monitor for disruptive statements?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company dedicated to building public trust in government and broadening civic engagement. Many people will not participate if the forum has disruptive statements.

Does Open Town Hall find many disruptive statements?

No. Disruptive statements are quite rare - less than one in a thousand statements are disruptive.

What does Open Town Hall do if they find a disruptive statement?

Open Town Hall

moves the statement to a different web page,
describes the problem in an email to the author, and
invites the author to change the statement.

Does Open Town Hall ever edit or delete statements?

Never. Only the statement's author can edit or delete a statement.

If I disagree with someone, can I post my opinion?

Yes. Open Town Hall encourages open dialog which, by necessity, includes disagreements.

How do I know if my statement is a 'disagreement' or a 'personal attack'?

Personal attacks are disparaging remarks which impute motives to a person's action. Statements of fact, or of your own opinion are generally not personal attacks.
Here are some examples of statements which are, and are not, personal attacks.

Personal Attack	Not A Personal Attack
He lied.	He said he did X, but in fact he did Y.
She misrepresented the truth.	I don't trust her.
He is greedy.	He is making plenty of money.
It is merely a power play on her part.	She will announce her candidacy soon.
