Full of bacteria, urban runoff, geese and ducks (okay, I like the ducks) or a free flowing river with good levels of things that actually clear the bacteria (check the differences between free flowing water up a piece and the stuff thats in the pond), ducks (yeah, they like free flowing water better than the geese) and the urban runoff actually gets treated by the free flowing water. hmmm,...maybe a no brainer.

I almost wrote this same post but got all my frustrations out in the Advocate's comments section. The Advocate is a rag. Someone pointed out that this story wasn't even news. If the paper has an agenda against it, write an editorial. I was walking back from the station the day they had the public hearing on this at the Gov Center. I thought it was sad that I knew more about the project just from reading the newspaper and the park's website than all the city reps in attendance combined. I'm certain more people are for the project than the very vocal majority against, especially when they understand it's more than removing some trees. Hey man, that last quote you agreed with was me!
