Inside a Community-Focused Plan for Memorial Coliseum

It would be great to mix and match ideas. Some of the programmatic elements in the MARC plan are terrific and it'd be great to incorporate them into the plan. However, gutting the inside of a National Register listed building is not something can necessarily be called the "public option" when it would remove the entire interior of a public building dedicated to our military veterans.

Historic register or not, the building is ugly, outdated and in the way. It should have been torn down when the Rose Garden opened and a memorial park (or, even more likely, a memorial parking lot) built in its place. In any case, spending a dime of public money on any renovation or redevelopment should be completely out of the question right now. If a private development company wants to spend its own money on the building, fine, give them a lease and let them have at it.

Please wait...
