Cascade is highly utilized it is downtown in the middle of the city add tennis courts in the property adjacent to transportation building add a city pool On Oakland and North Monroe making it part of the cascade then you’ll be using the dollars wisely
Moved here 60 years ago and the airport was a looser then as well as it is now………………….
why oh why do we continue to expand, add to, rework, and rebuild this facility at tax payer expense ………………???? (it does nothing to increase traffic). AS for PARKS…………..the planners are ” park happy”………..stop in one of the many at any reasonable hour ……….they are less than 20% utilized……yet we build more and have to maintain more……….at taxpayer expense ! Lets cut back on some of these do-gooder projects and save us taxpayers a few bucks now and then !
They should also make the airport more welcoming by funding a public transit route that runs from the airport to the colleges and to downtown – possibly use federal multi-module funds.
More money for airport than police shows the priorities. Cut this in half and lower taxes
“Maclay Commerce Drive/Maclay Boulevard, $3.5 million (includes roundabouts, landscaping, and enhanced pedestrian features)” …………………. This is a LOT for just $3.5 Million Dollars so, please explain to me how a Pedestrian Bridge at Cascades cost $7.4 Million Dollars? To me, THAT Pedestrian Bridge will always be used as a measuring stick on how much you spend on stuff..
$1.0 million for Northwest Park for initial planning and design? That much money should also include the building of the Park. Where is THIS Park going because you already built a nice one at Cap. Cir. NW and Fred George Rd. that doesn’t get much use.
