Summary
Council Member Ty Hankerson introduced Intro 740-a directing DPR and other agencies to identify 10 community districts with the least green space per person and to recommend ways to increase parks, shade and gathering places, framing green space as an equity issue.
Council Member Ty Hankerson introduced Intro 740-a, a bill directing the Department of Parks and Recreation and relevant agencies to study green space in community districts and identify 10 districts with the least green space per person. The required report would describe existing green space assets in those districts and return recommendations for increasing green space and shade.
Hankerson framed the measure as an equity initiative, saying many neighborhoods lack shade, public gathering places and usable playgrounds and that affluent neighborhoods do not face the same shortages. He told colleagues he expects the study to provide clearer data about where resources should go next to close green-space gaps.
Hankerson urged his colleagues to vote yes on the bill. The transcript records the introduction and sponsor remarks but does not show a recorded vote in the excerpt.
