And now where IS the waterfall? What ARE the statistics for this green building and all the items that seem so strange to normalconstruction – weedy roof, piping for all the water, etc, that we heard about when the library FINALLY opened after ten years being on the books.

Where DO people park since the lot is full of cars and crammed compact spaces. I called the library and they said that Chase Bank was a place to park. Oh really? Was that BEFORE ingress/egress was changed to the other side of the building? WHY would the library board even think of selling the vacant adjacent parcel when the library needs more parking? Oh that’s right -there was a lack of supervision and poor oversight of the bidding and now the Library Board wants to recoup some money. Not OK.
