Feel I need to make a point of clarification. The MPRB is not proposing to put office space in the renovated shelter building. Rather this is renovation of a "typical" park shelter - with one very important exception. The MPRB wants to spend $1.2 Million on a building that very few people in the neighborhood use. Even after the money is spent it is doubtful that will change considering the demographics of the Loring Park neighborhood (few families with children). Let me make it clear again however that spending some money is necessary to restore the building. It's just that there are other needs in the park that we would like to see addressed as well. Oh, did I mention that the MRPB has decided not to run the Berger Fountain as long this summer due to budget concerns, can't fix the tennis courts and probably will not give us a skating rink on the lake this winter for the same reason? Lots of money to rehab a building that few use but no money for items that the community feel are important. Richard Anderson Loring Park Richard Anderson Loring Park
