Final Tab On McEuen Park: $20.2M

According to city spokesman Keith Erickson, the above chart represents the total cost of McEuen Field, with one exception. Erickson said, according to the Coeur d’Alene Press, that while these figures were distributed in September 2013, the figures remain accurate today. He also noted that additional rebar for the parking facility did not cost $600,000, as had been reported. The actual cost, he said, was $184,245.72.

Question: Let’s forget about the overall price tag of the McEuen Park project for a minute. Do you think it was worth $6.5 million to replace the 3rd Street parking lot with the Front Avenue parking garage?
