Bob Copeland is correct in his post regarding priority's in the Loring Park Master Plan. The Loring Park neighborhood did not rank renovation of the shelter building above other improvements. For example, restoration of the Berger Fountain was ranked higher but the MPRB has said that "we are not in the fountain business so when it falls apart we will just get rid of it" (good news to those of you who visit the rose garden?) There is not a lot more that needs to be done to make Loring Park a jewel in the park system. CLPC dedicated $1.3 Million of its phase 1 NRP allocation to the effort. For the MRPB to decided on its own that the shelter building would consume all of "its" resources is a slap in the face to all of those who created the master plan and thought that their voices would be listened to.
