KEA: Don’t Cave To McEuen Naysayers

Although we have serious concerns with the proposal’s approach to parking, and we have serious concerns with the proposal’s approach to Tubbs Hill, we are in general agreement that McEuen Park is a location with great potential, and that placemaking is an appropriate design approach for this important location. The fact than nearly 600 people turned out on a cold January night to consider plans for a city park, shows the value to the community. The details are extremely important, and costs are very much a concern, but the opportunity should not be lost to the nattering of naysayers and defenders of the status quo/ Terry Harris , KEA Blog.

Question: Is there more momentum for change to McEuen Field today than more than a decade ago when Duane Hagadone proposed to build his memorial garden on it?
