City Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver has been on the job for six months now, but you'd hardly know it from his schedule. He seems to spend almost as much time away from New York as he does here.
Silver spends Fridays teaching a class on urban planning at Harvard. And he's flown to Singapore, Spain, England and South Africa, as well as North Carolina and Kentucky, to take part in conferences, give speeches and receive an honorary degree.
Meanwhile, capital projects in the city's parks lag years behind schedule, and community groups as well as City Council members complain they can't even get a sit-down with the commissioner, according to DNAInfo New York. What gives?
At a council hearing this week, Silver said both his travel and classroom schedules were set before he came on board and were cleared by the Conflicts of Interest Board. The teaching job ends this month, he said, and he expects less traveling "in the coming years."
That's all well and good, but here's the real problem: Our Parks Department is a laggard in delivering projects quickly and cheaply.
Instead of trying to rob those who make our parks work — e.g., the Central Park Conservancy — maybe the mayor ought to get himself a full-time parks commissioner.
