Kensington Metropark looks pristine from the outside—lush trails, trimmed lawns, and a $65 million budget to match. But beneath the surface lies a culture of drift. In this episode, we examine how a culture built for the public gradually began centering itself—until the institution, not the people, became the point.

A taxpayer-funded agency caught rewriting history, burying records, and dodging the truth—until now.

In 2016, the Huron-Clinton Metroparks Authority (HCMA) knew. For nearly 70 years, the issues had been escalating—GPS navigation steering thousands of drivers around toll booths, draining park revenue, and flooding a quiet neighborhood with traffic. They held a high-level meeting to address the growing problem. And then… nothing.

In 2024, HCMA plays dumb. No acknowledgment. No transparency. Key records? Withheld. The same issues they once scrambled to fix? Now, they won’t even admit they exist.

Except…

• FOIA records from another agency confirm HCMA’s involvement.
• A former HCMA official revealed key documents were buried.
• Director Amy McMillan dismissed West Buno Road as “not an entrance”—after discussing $33,000 in toll revenue collected on a single weekend from it.
• When residents pushed for answers, HCMA slapped a $9,500 price tag on public records.

If not for the persistence of a neighborhood advocate, HCMA’s gaslighting might have worked.

This isn’t just deception—it’s institutional memory-wiping, stonewalling, and shameless denial.

Why erase their own history? What else are they trying to bury?

Stay tuned for this deep dive into how a taxpayer-funded agency manipulated facts, buried evidence, and tried to rewrite reality—until they got caught.

For 70 years, a quiet neighborhood road has been caught in a web of neglect, bureaucratic quagmires, and systemic avoidance—serving as an unofficial park entrance without accountability or resolution. Enter "The Game-Changer"—a “Public Easement” that formalizes decades of unresolved issues, from neglected safety concerns to wasted revenue, and even the long-contested ownership of the $20M Buno Bridge. This transformative solution promises to cut through the red tape, redefine responsibility, and deliver long-overdue justice. One easement. Seventy years of conflict. Finally, a way forward.
