Through lack of planning, Mimico is woefully short of parkland, havâ€" ing the least amount of green space per capita in Metro. In its brief to the Metro Technical Comâ€" mittee, which drafted the waterâ€" front plan, Mimico also turned thumbs down on the proposal to erect more apartments along its apartment clustered lakefront.
