We won! Thank you!

Despite heavy downtown spending, the ill-conceived plan to put a 300-plus space garage in Civic Park went down to a resounding defeat Tuesday night. ... Thanks to everyone who talked to their neighbors about this and who sent a clear message to City Hall that we're not going to sit by for their consultant-driven redevelopment schemes.

First, any plan to build a new garage needs to be split from the plan to build a new library. A new library can be served by the Broadway Garage, the existing Civic Park lots and beefed up shuttles. ... For now though, we're taking a break for a couple weeks.

I'm so happy that the measure lost. What disturbed me was the comment in CC Times that someone on the coucil said 'we'll find a way to get around the voters and build it anyway'.
