Closed or destroyed?

I hope they put in wi-fi for all parts of the square, so people with laptops can sit and find online photos of how the square looked during last year's farmer's market and contemplate how much better it is this year. For only $400,000 we get to watch this all winter long.
Alderman Bobby Farrell wondered aloud during this week's City Council agenda-setting session how much of that money will come from the trail and sidewalk budget and how much will be donated by grateful merchants who have been suffering because the sidewalk and planter boxes weren't of the latest design.

Good news! This project is already raising revenue. The meter persons are efficiently ticketing people who had been parking without paying more easily, but the bad news is that business slacked off a bit at the square, which will cut revenue in the remaining spaces and their meters in the adjacent blocks.

Is this all about the money? Doesn't anyone see the lack of sensitiveness to the environment?

Get with the program. This work will bring tourists from all over the world!

Who will go to your precious Red Oak Park? Even Disney couldn't draw a crowd there.
