We recently got the chance to sit down with Rochester Park and Recreation Director Paul Widman to discuss several topics, including new leash laws, plans for Gamehaven Regional Park and the future use of Fire Station No. 2.

The interview is broken up into five separate clips. You can click the "playlist" tab to toggle between subjects. After you are finished watching, please give us some suggestions on we should interview next (survey form below).

Our interview with Mr. Widman is the second in a 12-part series paid for by the generous backers of the Med City Beat's Kickstarter campaign.
