Pre-K, Kulpa’s Way

This is not a joke folks. The latest concept plan for Supervisor Brian Kulpa’s Amherst Central “Park” includes a universal pre-k program on site.

Is the town getting into the pre-k business? Who is this for? Why does a “park” have a school? The PUD application notes that traffic will increase mainly for weekends - what kid wants to go to pre-k on Sunday!

Kulpa is turning a beautiful and historic golf course that would bring much more revenue and chatter than the terrible Audubon Golf course into a dumping plot of random buildings. The concept plan calls for a 30,000sq/ft theater, parking lots to expand more than 2x to over 500 spaces to just begin, roads, a 30,000sq/ft museum, livestock and chickens, an outdoor amphitheater for the Amherst Symphony Orchestra (who’s busy time performing is in the winter), a public plaza, 20+/- relocated buildings, 11+/- new buildings… the list goes on and on.

And the most bizarre of this (right now) is a universal pre-k here now. But who knows what Kulpa will add in the next month, 6 or year. Maybe a hotel or a new bagel jays?

This is not a park… this is a community activity city. And Kulpa is not asking for your input. Once PUD is approved - he then will have pre-k rug-rats running around Westwood until the moose from the livestock zoo escapes to check out the ice rink or the ASO playing outside in January.
