McEuen Field Work Moving Ahead

The city of Coeur d’Alene could break ground on the McEuen Field redevelopment project before the recall effort is settled. In fact, dirt could begin turning by late summer. The first part of the project would install the boat trailer parking lot on the east side of the park, south of City Hall. “It would probably be sometime this summer, late summer or early fall,” said Doug Eastwood, parks director. Team McEuen, the park’s designers, have until January to finish construction documents, but Eastwood said the work could be completed sooner. Construction of the estimated $14.2 million Phase 1 plan would begin at the east end lot and would also create a connector trail from the lot to the boat launch along the base of Tubbs Hill. How far the project gets after breaking ground in 2012, if it does, could be dependent on the weather at the end of the year, Eastwood said/ Tom Hasslinger , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.

Question: Should the city of Coeur d’Alene wait to being work on McEuen Field until the recall attempt is decided, one way or the other?
