Urban Politics #36: Port Terminal 18 – Votes
May 18th, 1998There have been a series of good developments this past week regarding an encroachment type issue in Viretta park. In 1903 Viretta Park was dedicated to the City by the adjoining property owner without a driveway going through the park s lower north end quarter. Ten years later the original donor asked for an easement to allow for one. A permit was granted on a yearly renewable basis. As time went by the driveway became paved and a fence was later erected on park property cutting off public access to another portion of its land.
