Exactly. To various and multiple projects city wide.
"$44 M to construct new parks, including new East Park in Southeast False Creek and expansion of ‘Burrard Slopes’ park". Every park in that plan is less than $187 million. Not sure what your concern is in regards to the new park where the section of overpasses are now.

$80M on new land near the Fraser, that's an interesting investment in something that could be underwater in the medium term. I hope the new property taxes from the SE Fraser development pay that back.
Also the $44M on a "new east park" in SEFC... first I've heard of that. Is that near the Cambie bridge where the school and more condos will be developed?
