The Wildflower parcel located at 551 East Palmetto Park Road was purchased by the taxpayers of Boca Raton in 2009. We were then presented with a convoluted collection of choices for the land use, designed to confuse and make 'commercial leasing of the property' a clear winner.
In effect there should be only two (2) choices:
A - Public Green Space
B - Commercial restaurant
The details of either winner to be outlined at a later hearing.
Almost six years later, the property gracing the intracoastal sits neglected and barricaded from public use...while the City Council decides the finer points of rezoning to obtain THEIR objective to accommodate 'Big Development'.
Let's stop urban blight, let's save what is left of our once quaint downtown and preserve our precious Green Space - Make the Wildflower a PARK!
We the undersigned residents of the City of Boca Raton, Florida request that our City Council and CRA VOTE to make the Wildflower parcel a public PARK. This plot of taxpayer property needs to be annexed to Silver Palm Park - our only public access to the waters of the intracoastal.
We ask that this property be preserved as Green Space for future generations of our Great City and for the use of students attending the Universities here in our 'College Town' of Boca Raton.
In this way we will offset some of the current congestion snarling our roads while promoting healthy and affordable recreational activities such as, rowing, team sculling, and kayaking.
