From the comments on SeattleTimes.com, you'd think that spending a couple of bucks on a park was High Treason. But Belltown, home to some 10,000 of us, has no park.

Yesterday afternoon the City Council was all ayes when it came to the Bell Street Park Boulevard. Design is to finish up this fall, and by next spring, it's all top hats and tails on Bell from First to Fifth. Who's paying? We already agreed to; the P-I point out that the project "which would add 17,000 square feet of new green space, is part of the 2008 Parks Levy." Now, because you're curious, check out the Belltown blog's rundown of what exactly the Bell Street Park Boulevard is. A lane vanishes, the sidewalk fattens 30 feet, and voila! it's fun to walk between Denny Park and the waterfront. If people actually turn out to want to get to Denny Park, this will be worth every goddamn penny.
