Meeting at Coughlin Park

As usual the Transwrap does a true Pravda like reporting job to satisfy the politically correct standards of this burg. There is no reason for this paper to "commend Jim McKenna and thetown officials for reaching out to Point Shirley residents so quickly after some had expressed concerns. . . ." There were two petitions signed by more than 100 persons each. The town poobahs merely did what any savvy pol would do . . . they didn't ignore the voters. And as usual this alleged newspaper ignored the main issue the Point residents seek redress on - parking problems created by parents of kids who practice football at the park. Nothing wrong at all with kids using the park. It's the parents who park their vehicles anyway they want, on both sides of the street even if there re 'no parking' signs on one side, at a very bad bend at the Boston Harbor bend of Bayview Avenue, such that the town is just plain lucky that there are no serious car crashes or pedestrians being hit beause parked cars block t he view of cars approaching from the opposite direction. So the town officials did not do a wunnaful job . . . they acted like pols and Nick DelVento had to do a fairly good job bringing a peaceful end to the meeting after some football parents tried to assert their precedence and the park's being "for the children" - an often scoffed at saying heard around town now and again.
