DudleyDoRight: I disagree with Kage and pool, the current uses of McEuen dramatically under-utilize the public space on that site. Mrs DoRight and I walked past McEuen and City Park a several times per week all last summer and McEuen was a ghost town and City Park was packed. Why not allow more of our regular citizens like us to utilize the wonderful green space we have so close to downtown on a year round basis by re-programming the park with more activiites and reasons to come downtown. Sure, the Haga-world restaurants will benefit, but so will the independent retailers and other food service merchants and employ lots of people downtown. I’m not sure why there is so much opposition to opening up the park to more users than the baseball players and those wealthy enough to own a boat?
