Park remodel is sad

Sat., May 10, 2014

I sadly reviewed the Riverfront Park plan in the May 4 Spokesman-Review. The YMCA on the river was torn down for green space. The current design of Riverfront Park provides the most beautiful park in Washington. Hundreds of families are able to spread blankets on the grass to enjoy summer concerts.

The proposed park remodel paves over the green space. It cuts up our unique park into an imitation Disneyland. It is $60 million worth of destruction!
