Dogwalk: CdA Council Doesn’t Listen

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about the possibility of a long departed carousel making a return to its home town. I’m happy to report a very generous couple has purchased it from the current owners and are already packing it for the trip. The question is where should it go. Many have suggested it be incorporated into the plans for the revitalization of McEuen Park.  When suggested the Mayor commented, “We’re not looking at buildings, per se, so I don’t know if it could fit.”  My question is if the plan they were unveiling was merely a concept, why not? Her statement, knowing the council’s history, suggests an already done deal.  Nothing more to be done than go through those pesky motions/ Mari Meehan , Dogwalk Musings. More here .

Question: Is it too early in the planning process for McEuen Field to say that Mayor Sandi Bloem and the City Council aren’t listening to suggestions (like putting the Carousel at McEuen) from the public?
