On February 12, 2015, four long years after the public meeting on March 22, 2011 in which the reduced-footprint compromise golf plan was unveiled, City Park officials were finally ready to break ground on the new course. However, unbeknownst to the public, a bait-and-switch had been pulled somewhere along the line, and a deal quietly struck with the golf course developers that allowed 5.5 acres of the Couturie Forest to be bulldozed for the new golf course. That was never part of the original plan presented to the public at the March 22, 2011 Public Meeting, nor was this change ever reflected in the updates to the City Park Land Use maps printed as part of the Master Plan 2018 revisions in 2011 and 2014. Shame on them for intentionally hiding their plans from the public in this manner! And as a result, it is disingenuous in the extreme for them to try and counter the current protests with claims that they've been open and aboveboard with their plans all along.
