[Vision2020] Bulldozers at the Palouse Mall

[bill london]

And we have to destroy that green space in order to save it....
The destruction there at the Palouse Mall is all part of the plan, 
agreed to by the city council, for the replacement of the plantings in 
that buffer zone (the ones the mall illegally cut four years ago).
The city park staff is monitoring the process, and the plan is to add a 
drip irrigation system, sidewalk and new plants to complete the project 
by end of July.
The mall's earlier suggestion of a meandering path and filling in the 
swale will not happen.
