I can not believe that this conversation is occuring with the state of our public schools. The city needs to take a good hard look at what the priorities are. Do we value recreation over the social, emotional and mental well being of our children? If so, the project should proceed and the city leaders with have to live with their decision to put "recreation" above our children.

If not, perhaps a bond measure should be raised to address the multitude of problems facing our public schools consequently affecting our cities children adversely.
