> Visionaries,
>      What's the latest news on the city plan to build
> an extravagant softball field megaplex with a huge,
> Rosauer's sized parking lot right next door to the UI
> Arboretum?

>      I understand that those in charge of the
> arboretum, members of the Board of Directors of UI
> Arboretum Associates, stewards of UI Arboretum and
> Botanical Garden, have written a letter opposing
> it(see http://www.uidaho.edu/arboretum/ ) and that the
> vast majority of neighborhood residents around the
> arboretum oppose this plan.

>      Also, many residents say that while they were not
> adequately notified about the plan as it was being
> developed, they were told to "just move on" and "deal
> with it" by some city decisionmakers.  Others have
> raised questions about how the fields will be
> irrigated because getting reclaimed water to the
> proposed site is not economically feasible.
>
>       But what's happening now?
>       Are the elected officials just waiting until
> after the election to make a decision?
>       Anyone know?
