Absolutely, positively, one of the biggest overall wastes of money I've seen in the past few years-- and this being New Albany, that's saying something.

Politicians and organizations would be wise to distance themselves.

The Tribune article says everyone's behind it, 100%, and the mayor said that if more public money is necessary, so be it.

It's like an ode to the floodplain. I predict the recessed green area will always be flooded or soggy. Which is cool if it becomes a "wetland" and attractive to migrating wild fowl. Can we call it "Alluvial Park"? Can we have an archeological dig there before the "wetlands" are completed? So many questions, such a little park, and so much money to spend on it.

Apparently, the gravel is coming from a diamond mine and the grass from the Netherlands.
