Subject: Re: [Mpls] Nick Coleman on DeLaSalle
Thanks Liz.
While on the CAC, Ted Wirth pointed out that as a professional, this was a very
poor design because it is not consistent with the atmosphere of the park and
doesn't fit into the space between the building and the railroad tracks. Ted
said it was like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. A better design
could be had and would also include a track for the track team as well.
Nestegen, (sp) another Landscape Architect on the CAC, pointed out that they
will loose there tennis courts in this location. They have a tennis team and so
where is that activity going to move to?
The only real professionals qualified to analize land use planning, Ted and
Nestegen both voted against it and said another location would be better.
Since the charge of the CAC only included looking at that site or ajacent park
land, Ted suggested Boom Island or B F Nelson, less than 4 blocks from the
school. Then Judy Bleseg (Bob Fine's appointee) said, "But no one's OFFERING
us that site" I wondered, did someone from MPRB OFFER them this site?
If DeLaSalle is going to build a new stadium, DeLaSalle students deserve a
better and more complete field, where ever it is located.
