Thu, 03/07/2013 - 6:00pm - 7:30pm

The City's Parks Department has created a preliminary concept plan for the rest of the empty space around the Artesian Well. (It's now being called the Artesian Court instead of the Artesian Park because the Parks Department doesn't want to become responsible for another park without any additional funding for it...

Here's what it looks like:

Some Details

As I understand the current proposal, the two multi-purpose areas are supposed to be basketball courts most of the time, separated from the rest of the space by a 12 foot chain link fence to be sure that nobody chases a ball into the street and gets hit by a car, leading to a law suit for the City...

I don't know what's being propsed as far as the details of auto access to the well for people with big containers. (I heard the other day that some people drive in and fill barrels at the well...)
