Sarnia's mayor says he's underwhelmed by city staff's recommended amenities plan for Centennial Park. Plans include trails and parkways, a playground, gardens and landscape and a community launch pad. With the Dow People Place to be demolished, Mike Bradley is disappointed there isn't enough money for a permanent roof over the central gathering space and stage area. Instead, built-in anchors are recommended to allow for a wide variety of tent layouts. [audio mp3="http://blackburnnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mike-Bradley-1-edit.mp3"][/audio] Phases 2 and 3 of park remediation and revitalization have a $5.5-million cost. City council is to consider the latest staff report at its meeting Monday, July 27.
