    I live near Maywood Park and would applaud low water plantings to upgrade parts of the park, if those are the "low water" types of upgrades being planned. But I notice that Prop 68 (Senate Bill 5, 2018) specifies improvements for "low income" areas. I fail to see how Maywood Park can be classified this way. Of course, if the idea is to bolster the Pruneridge bike lanes, one might argue that low income folks may bike to the park. But why not improve park areas where the low income folks live?
