COUNTY PARK and REC PLAN: An urgent need
I am writing to express my concern about the lack of a comprehensive park and recreation master plan in Kootenai County, a critical issue highlighted by the recent rejection of the open space bond proposal on Nov. 7. While I voted against the bond proposal due to the absence of a publicly supported plan, I commend our Board of County Commissioners for putting the matter to a vote.
Balancing economic growth with the preservation of our natural resources is a challenge, but it’s one that demands our attention. We must collectively address this challenge by creating a long-term plan that safeguards our recreational resources.
Our love for North Idaho is intrinsically tied to the gifts of Mother Nature. Yet, these treasures often take a back seat to other pressing issues. We must commit to publicly planning for open spaces, trails, parks and recreation areas that reflect our collective values.
