The project is an eyesore and a disgrace to the city. It is also unsustainable and will have its budget cut or be shut down due to lawsuits resulting from child injury. I will never understand why those who knew of the project in the very beginning stages did not step up and demand another site be chosen, but the rest of us didnt find out until it was too late. It would have been so easy to put them in an empty part of midtown nearby.
