Memorial Drive on the Chopping Block?

City planners in Idaho Falls are considering an expansion of the greenbelt along the Snake River in Idaho Falls. The grand vision is to eliminate Memorial Drive, which would make room for an ampitheater, foot bridge, water fountain, and more. But, it could be controversial because many feel that downtown Idaho Falls is crowded enough, and if you subtract the parking offered by Memorial Drive, the problem will only get worse. We'll talk about this idea today on the Neal Larson show, and my belief (this is as granola as I'll ever get) that it's good to trade in asphalt for grass -- if you're trading the right asphalt. We'll hear from you on a Wednesday NLS!
