um, Mr. Cynic; neither of the above mentioned lots are developed. If the city put in the dollars at the Clocktower existing lot to pave, stormwater retention etc. and then proceeded to rip it out after the park is fully developed, you’d be screaming bloody murder on that too. It is actually fiscally responsible for the city to wait to pave the Clocktower ponds until the ES park is fully developed. That way the taxpayers aren’t paying for it twice.

You don’t honestly think that the current parking arrangement at the Clocktower site is going to remain exactly the same once ES Park is finalized do you?

We are stuck with what we get because no sane person would run for city council or mayor, unless of course they are in the pocket of big business.

In somewhat related news, the city continues to allow an unpaved parking lot at Esther Simplot Park in violation of the city’s own zoning codes. And yet another unpaved parking lot has cropped up at 27th and Fairview, the site of failed Riverside Medical Center.

Those of you developing properties and are forced to pave X amount of land for parking and provide X amount of storm water retention basin should be outraged.

This will not change the practice of the City stonewallin the public. Not surprised to see them loose – again. Hopefully this will not be the last time either. The city bets that no on will sue them so they hide behind the lack of lawsuits.
