Lansdowne Letters
I’m still irritated with the Mayor relating to the reconstruction of Lansdowne. I wrote him a letter, changed that into a letter to city council, and then edited it down for a letter to the editor of the newspaper. I often do this, working a letter down from a first draft to an individual (that can be a bit longer) to a short — hopefully pithy — letter for the editorial page. I thought I would post all three versions here, so you can see how I do it. The newspaper letter follows, click the link to read the other two versions. The back room is looking pretty cosy these days, as “Decider Larry” cools on an international Lansdowne design competition. The park is not his personal property. His rush to construct a premature idea next fall leaves no time to get the rest of us involved. The way to make money with Lansdowne is through tourism, not property taxes. A design competition would class up a city that badly needs a great public space. Our world heritage canal is one piece of the puzzle. Let’s not waste it by handing Lansdowne to O’Brien’s pals for small-minded development. Let’s get excited about what we could build downtown. Let’s transform Lansdowne into a space that will be a beautiful draw for a hundred years. Mayor O’Brien: we want an international design competition. |
