Lower Woodland neighbor says ‘NO’ to burning own money.

Brown, withered, dirty space-full-of-dead-grass advocates suffered a serious setback at Lower Woodland today, when the individual who had been holding up the Lower Woodland Skatepark for the last year-and-a-half decided to drop her lawsuit challenging the SEPA declaration for the Lower Woodland Skatepark based on (of all things) aesthetics.

You may remember that this person, falsely representing herself as a bogus neighborhood group, delayed the project to the tune of $200K+ of cost increases and submitted us all to an almost two year long limbotomy.

Sure, the Parks Department gave builder T.F. Sahli the green light to move forward over a month ago, but they were taking a calculated risk, because the skater-haters had another appeal opportunity. If they had won what would’ve been their third appeal, then Parks would’ve had to rip out the work Sahli had done so far. An unlikely scenario…sure… but so is the idea that a single individual would spend so much of their own money, to challenge the skatepark based on the premise that it would be aesthetically less pleasing than a big patch of dirt and dead grass.
