False. The majority of residents in the surrounding neighborhoods voted for a park. We took a vote to close the roads and reviewed multiple plans for the park. A vocal minority of old people who didnt understand how to access a web page then put up a stink, said they were disenfranchised (there were signs everywhere saying how to vote online and at the park itself), called the process racist, got the mayor's ear and he reopened the road.
