That's what needs to be decided, sparky. Does the City intend to keep a golf course out there, or are we looking for sand volleyball, outside music amphitheatre, playground, sheltered eating areas, etc? What was the City's original intent? Anybody remember?
Geez Bugaboo you're stooping to the same level of childishness. We need to realize as a small Kansas town the benefits of working together to pool the resources of the City, Unversity, USD, Rec Commission, and Community Organizations toward the greater good. I think your attempts to hi-jack every post on this website are sounding a little desparate. I'm pretty sure everyone voting has already made up their mind on which way they're going to vote on the issue.
It would truly be awesome to have all of these things that the bond issue promises. BUT - let's do it right. Let's have some forsight.
Where are the 600 people plus the performers going to park when they use the new performing arts center? The bhs/bjhs parking lot is crowded for normal events like a basketball game, not to mention multiple events on the same night.
Let's get some city streets with sidewalks out to the new elementary complex and ballfields so there are safer ways for kids to walk or ride bikes to and from the area.
Finally, let's have somone accountable at the District for the routine maintenance on buildings and grounds so that we can stop putting out “fires” that cost millions of dollars. Seriously, I've lived here forever and the BJHS roof and heating and air have never been right.
Justask - I don't think extending Elm Street(city street) adding sidewalks and crosswalks is the same thing as walking along Lawrence Avenue “country road.”
It would be great to hear from the City about the extension of Elm Street before the vote. The thought of young kids walking to school without improvements in that area is pretty scary.
Also - it would be great to hear from USD 348 about how all of these ball fields, performing arts building, practice fields etc. are being added without any definite plans for new parking. Anyone who has attended a basketball tournament, graduation, wrestling tournament, KMEA music festival, etc. will know that parking at BHS is extremely inadequate. I have heard maybe we'll move the bus barn, or maybe we'll add a few spaces here or there.
Congratulations Bulldog Boosters for continuing the success of the BASH. Many kudo's for a job well done. Baldwin will hopefully continue this tradition long into the future.

Let's get it right this time.

Is there a football or cross country list? It seems odd that volleyball is kept up to date, but others are not reported.
