SANDPOINT After evaluation and feedback from a jury of experts, the Sandpoint City Council voted Wednesday in favor of GGLO’s “The Blue Necklace” design as the finalist of the city’s Waterfront Design Competition.
For the record, I 100% support new features being added to the bike-skills area in Travers Park and appreciate the efforts of Pend Oreille Peddlers, of which I’m a member. And I’m pleased Councilman Jason Welker reported in his letters that no trees will be cut down for this project. However, regarding the trees surrounding the playground area, the councilman played dodgy with the truth.
Extra noise, cars and pollution caused by large volumes of traffic on Euclid Avenue are raising concerns, with several residents telling the Sandpoint City Council on Wednesday that roadwork in other areas is to blame.
Among the topics on the Sandpoint City Council’s Wednesday agenda are a subdivision plan approval and a traffic project that will affect Fifth Avenue. and Pine Street., among other items.
The closure of Boyer Avenue past the railroad tracks has been the talk of the town.
Is the road work a city project? A county project?
Nope, it's a Sandpoint Airport project.
