118th/Doty Update
Although seemingly we lost this battle, we like to keep the community updated on the developments of this property. There was so much hope, and so much community empowerment, but in the end political will was not in favor of the people.
What could’ve been a beautiful community park is now becoming a second rate housing development in a community that has no need for more single family homes, but in desperate need of parks and open space.
FLTS will continue to work for the fair and equitable distribution of parkspace in low-income, communites of color.
The struggle continues and there are plenty of battles to be won.
