While I think we need to make the river greenway downtown ‘nicer’ I do think these plans are a little extravagant. And the placement of the amphitheater seems odd to me. Why would people gather around an office building? Seriously? Wouldn’t Fawick Park be more ideal? What is the purpose of the steps into a muddy river? Are the steps being built to make it easier for public works to drag sewer drainage hoses into the river? Councilor Rolfing brought up the cleanliness of the river today at the informational meeting, and I would agree, do we want to highlight our river at that location? It’s the color of shit. Of course the drawings show the water crystal clear.
