On the day of the “big snow,” I emailed Parks & Rec directly, and gave ’em a pat on the back for the nice job they’re doing with the Greenbelt. (The very same stretch as mentioned in the hotline call.)

They were appreciative, and said they’d identify the folks who are actually out there in the cold doing the work, and pass the compliment on.

Photos of that morning, on the greenbelt – HERE
(I’m too old, and the ground is too hard, for me to be doing the ol’ full-body slam into the pavement any more.)

The comment about clearing the greenbelt … was that really forwarded to ACHD? Does the transcriber know that the greenbelt is maintained by Boise Parks and Rec? Or maybe the transcriber’s job is outsourced to India.

EDITOR NOTE–We wondered the same. Also, wouldn’t it have been more logical to just have the guys who clear the plaza at City Hall fix the problem with the handicap parking spots?

The BPD is too busy to investigate theft? They also appear to be too busy to stop red light runners, who IMO kill more people than speeders. It’s all about priorities. They need civilian control to direct them to stop wasting their time with people who have a bong or a pipe in their car, or people who have an open container in the park. They need to focus their criminal enforcement energies on burglary and theft, and their traffic enforcement energy on red light runners.
