Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Consolidation could shift collections between neighborhoods, potentially redirecting money away from strong areas like Regional Parks and West Bench toward underfunded areas like Central Bench.

Underfunded neighborhoods like the Central Bench could see more equitable park spending.

⚠️Who could be affected

Neighborhoods that currently collect well could see their fee dollars spent more broadly across the city.
