McEuen Project On Schedule

The McEuen Park project is on track according to the engineers who gave an update to the Four County Natural Resource Committee on Wednesday. Phil Boyd and Dell Hatch from Welch Comer Engineers spent an hour updating the group on progress and changes that have been made over the life of the project. The most recent change was the removal of the sundial on the promenade portion of the project. Instead, Hatch told the group the $51,000 that was going to be spent on that project is now being used to install heavier electrical infrastructure to support major events at the park. "They did fall a little behind on dry utilities," Boyd said. "But they should be able to make that up." Overall, they said the project is on schedule to have all of the hardscape aspects finished by mid-November -- leaving most of the landscaping until spring/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Just had a funny thought. What if ... Mary Souza is the mayor next year when McEuen Field reopens. What do you think she'll do with dedication ceremonies?
