Call
it
a
departure,
I
would
call
it
a
maturation.
I
would
call
it
stepping
up
our
game,
recognizing
that
this
is
something
that
you
know
through
purposeful
planning
and
implementation.
We
can
really
address
some
of
the
core
concerns
that
people
have
had,
whether
it
be
not
enough
playing
fields
for
people
who
do
a
Flett
--ax,
but
then
combined
with
the
more
casual
use
spaces
that
I've
talked
about
that
can
allow
for
non-athletes
seniors,
very
small
children
to
enjoy
our
open
space
in
a
way
that
promotes
community
health,
environmental
sustainability.
B
These
are
all
very
good
things
and,
while
again,
we've
done
a
good
job
overall,
we
realized
that
there
was
room
to
even
do
better,
and
this
plan
really
takes
all
of
our
best
thinking
and
sets
us
on
a
direction
for
the
next
few
years.
Where
we
can,
we
can
do
that
and
keep
Arlington
the
most
venerated
communities
for
providing
parks
and
open
space.
