High Noon: Tubbs Hill in the news

COEUR d'ALENE - While the language is in there, the city's Natural Open Space Management Plan doesn't call for building a north side trail on Tubbs Hill.

It only mentions it as a possibility to one day consider.

Nevertheless, the Tubbs Hill Foundation is opposing the city's proposed management plan as long as it includes proposed changes to the hill - such as a north side trail - that had been considered with the McEuen Field conceptual plan last year before being dropped.

Those proposals - at least conceptually - are included in the city's inaugural open space management plan, and their mere mention is making the THF balk. Tom Hasslinger, Cda Press

Do you think changes to Tubbs Hill are inevitable?
