I have been following the issue of what should happen at the Bluff Street Park and have talked to many folks who would like to see this site improved as a natural area. I have also spoken to Commissioners and staff about future plans for this site. Generally, It seems like there is a lack of respect for the good work that has been done by residents, the Design center and volunteer consultants. I have seen the plans, like them, and do not support the sale of this property. With the potential of increased density in this area, it is even more important that this land be preserved as green space. The bluff really enhances the river road and is important to the ecological preservation of the one true gorge on the entire length of the Mississippi. I hope at the Sept. 7 open time at the MPRB meeting that the Park Board will welcome the efforts of those that have worked hard to plan for some modest improvements to this valuable land and clarify future planning and planning processes so that interested citizens are not shut out of the process. Thanks, Scott Vreeland Seward REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
