Commercial zone, green space
December 19, 2011 · Updated 8:36 AM
Regarding the recent news that the deal for a grocery store in the Issaquah Highlands fell through, and given that the entire commercial area along Highlands Drive and 9th Avenue Northeast has a nice covering of grass, I suggest that the City Council re-zone that area as a city park.
We could have a dozen fields for soccer, baseball, frisbee, outdoor concerts, and more.
That makes more sense than letting those acres sit there doing nothing for yet another decade.
