Two Hamilton teens are wondering why the city's plan to build a much needed basketball court in Gage Park is going to take 25 years.

"I don't know about you, but I will be 41 when this court is supposed to be built," Norrie King, 16, told councillors at Monday's Public Works Committee meeting.

"And I'm just speaking from seeing my parents that I will probably be more focused on back pain than playing recreational basketball," she added, causing councillors to laugh inside council chambers.

King and her friend Julia Neven, also 16, spoke to councillors on Monday asking the city that the court, which was supposed to be built by 2051, be done and ready to play on next year.

If zoning does not need to be changed or any other governmental BS doesn’t have to be involved sure, but I stand by my welcome to Bureaucracy statement.
