Proposed changes to building requirements
Regarding proposed changes in building requirements next to Riverfront Park: David Peterson, executive at Goodale and Barbieri, says “We need to create something that all of Spokane would be proud of. We need to create something that is going to generate a spark.” (Spokesman-Review, Feb. 3)
For years Riverfront Park has been something Spokane can be proud of. Now, having sunk millions into a revitalization project for the park, let’s not give in to money-grubbing developers by throwing shadows over it. If we want shade, we’ll plant trees. I hope that voters in the city of Spokane will contact their City Council, asking that the existing regulations, which require that new buildings stair-step away from the park, be maintained. The spark is the Park; protect it!
