Public park and green space in Bayside

Summary

Councilors agreed the neighborhood — which has no usable public park — should get a real public park, not just 'publicly accessible' courtyard space, likely carved from part of a parcel near Pearl Place and Unity Village. Building an actual park will eventually be a city budget decision.
