LAKESIDE
The two main water features at Lakeside’s Lindo Lake Park and 24 acres of the park itself are undergoing a huge revitalization thanks to more than $8 million in long-awaited upgrades paid for by the county.
San Diego County officials say that the project, designed to improve the water quality and habitat for local wildlife, is under the close watch of an in-house biologist and environmental lead with extensive experience and that it is taking steps to ensure the well-being of the animals in the area.
But local environmentalists are raising concerns about some of the upgrades. They say a plan to drain the east basin of Lindo Lake will do irreparable harm to some of its most vulnerable residents birds and their babies-to-be.
