We have acres of parks, lakes and a river that will never be built on and provide both open spaces and recreational opportiunities.
You are making some pretty big assumptions here. I don't know if you have been watching the MPRB in action lately but protecting our "open spaces" is not that high on their list of priorities ( see just about any previous posting about the DeLaSalle athletic facility ). Last night's meeting was so packed that it was standing room only because of the MPRB's plans to provide recreational opportunities, a bike trail in NE along a portion of St. Anthony Parkway and the bike and x-country ski trails coming close to the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden, but also the ever present issue of DeLaSalle. Hopefully I will be able to get the "minutes" of the meeting that lasted from 5-10:10pm up soon, but if you can catch a rebroadcast on cable you can watch me lose my temper on camera :-).
