Bloem, Gookin Look To Future

Local historians, take note. And make sure you're sitting down. Coeur d'Alene Mayor Sandi Bloem and Dan Gookin, the councilman most likely to oppose her in the November election, agree on something. And it's a big thing, reaching more than a quarter of a century into our future. Bloem and Gookin agree that the community will be well served by at least exploring the prospects of creating a vision for the future, an expansion of a project known as CDA 2020. For the general public, the new exercise begins Tuesday at 6 p.m. during the City Council meeting in Coeur d'Alene's public library, when renowned planner Steven Ames will make the first presentation on the visioning process/Coeur d'Alene Press Editorial Page. More here.

Question: Do you like the way Coeur d'Alene is developing now?
