Let's hope this is just the tip of the iceberg for good news for Pleasant Prairie. $8 million dollars should build a very nice pool. Let's be open with costs and how funded and maintained. I know RecPlex has done OK but IcePlex has struggled financially. Can the facilities be used to enhance Pleasant Prairie Family Days and help them with its financial issues?
With Obama as President, and his Chicago connections, along with Miles White / Abbott and Olympic Committee connections, and the Village's Triathlon successes, the Village should make for a strong case to have multiple Olympic events here in Pleasant Prairie.
Maybe we can get Abbott to fund an enhanced bike trail system, along with pedestrian bridges over major roads and such, to Prairie Springs Park and West of I94, to enhance that aspect for future Olympic bid plus allow for more healthy bicycle and pedestrian traffic from Village homes to the new facilities and jobs West of I94. Would also improve air quality and residents health as was discussed in 2030 Smart Growth plans.

We need to get this Village looking Olympic. BIKE LANES and everything all over da place!
Jeff
I want to see Pollocough running with the Olympic torch!
With da Steinbrinker on his shoulders...
I heard somewhere that in 2009 116th is scheduled for work. Gotta wonder if a bike lane has been incorporated into it?
Jeff
Here's what worries me because I believe 116th is dependent on grants: In another move, Doyle said that he was ordering immediate spending cuts and canceling $30 million in state grants.
I think the road is considered too narrow for bike lanes.
Think of the belly flop potential!
Let's see state uses taxpayer dollars to incentivize Uline to move to WI. Uline gives roughly equivalent number of dollars to village to build pool. Pool now pay for by taxpayers but only members can use.
Sounds like the Uline-Pollocough pool (U-P Pool -- get it)
