When will City Council address ongoing concerns with Liberty Plaza? Why not activate Liberty Plaza with a redesign/rebuild, and with more planned activities? Instead, this misguided proposal will take parking lot money out of the City's revenues, and put the City more on the hook for paying off bonds related to the underground parking structure. This is one of those things that Proposal A proponents did not explain to the public, and now I fear we are going to pay dearly for this folly. This resolution has no cost or budget associated, but it has to cost something, so I say let the Library Green Conservancy pay - entirely. Ann Arbor is already $175,000 in the hole on this park proposal just for the task force alone, and costs will only escalate. Once again - put money into Liberty Plaza first, before spending another cent on the so-called center of the city.
