Alicia, you are, of course, so special and needed. The literary event I had not seen before. When I was in the downtown library today (Sunday), there was no mention of it. And it is on a Saturday when parking is fee-based. I always go on Sunday.
As for the park proposals, it was unclear to me how many people, including me, were participating in the online presentation and survey. I am sure staff provided what they felt was in the public interest. As for the tower, it added interest but cost of building and managing seems way out of the park budget. It would only be available on special occasions requiring staff. It is out of the box, something to talk about. I did not want to lose anymore park to parking. And to keep as much open space i.e. lawn and trees as possible. Lawns can be "active" with walking yourself, dogs, playing with a frisbee, sitting, lying on a lawn. A lawn is the only place to be enjoyed by all ages. Further, parks with their lawns and trees will be increasingly the only green space available as more of the public lives in apartments . Passageways for fish do not include food for them. As the banks are developed as benches, birds like waterfowl lose access and food. Parks do face problems with increasing "games", the need to show they are "improving" by adding more features.
Anyway getting late and a highlight of my day was seeing and listening to Senator Bryan....a time of decency.
