Citizen outcry stalls Parque Omar plan.

Citizen outcry stalls Parque Omar plan.

A PUBLIC  OUTCRY  over the planned $35 million facelift  to Parque Omar, which included paving over some sections of the city’s “lung” has opened the door to citizen participation in the project.

During a meeting with users of the San Francisco park,  the Secretariat of Goals agreed on  Wednesday to modify the project to remodel the public space, and  to postponing the tender until a broad consultation period is held.

Ricardo Delvalle, of the Altos del Golf Loma Alegre and surrounding areas Residents Association, said that $35 million is an “onerous” amount for the work.

They  have asked  for an ‘open’ meeting in the park.
