I don't understand why it's so important to have water in the river, it's only for looks anyhow and with a $80 million dollar price tag a dry river looks better & better all the time. It's not worth spending all that money just to see water in the river. Let it be dry. IMO the G.P. is over kill anyhow looks like a over glorified 41st street playground to me. The trails at RiverSide are the most important thing not the frills IMO of course.

Shouldn't matter to someone who doesn't live here.

No it would not. However, This about us residents who do live here and are facing an extra $80 Million dollars for water in the pond. IMO for that kind of loot, let it be dry we are already used to a dry river as it is. Too much money. Focus on doing the Zink Dam and be done with it.

Fence went up last week. The little cut through between the neighborhood and the River trails parking lot at 30th and Boston Pl has been blocked. You either have to go down to 31st St (no sidewalk) or get on the trail at 24th or 21st.

Interesting concept... Drive from suburbia to downtown to take a shuttle to suburbia.

There are two general "concepts"/definitions of what suburban means.  Context can inform which is the intended.  When the conversation is urban versus suburban, then suburban in this context you can infer that your talking about the "type" of built environment (urban= pedestrian/transit friendly) (suburban= auto centric).  When your just talking about whether an area is "urbanized" (or urban versus rural) your generally talking about whether it has buildings on it.  And if you really want to get picky about it, you can even have an area full of high-rises and skyscrapers and it not be considered urban, but suburban.  Much of Dallas can fit that bill.  Lots of buildings but not pedestrian or transit friendly type development.  While some smaller towns can have shorter buildings but be quite urban.

What kind of development, versus whether its developed on or not, regardless of the type.   

Kind of like by definition "All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

We generally call a place like BA suburban because of the nature of it's built environment, which is "below urban, or suburban".  That must necessarily indicate that there is a built form that is different from that, "above it" or urban.
Though the neighborhoods around the park there by the river are quite nice, they aren't really much different otherwise than some suburban neighborhoods in BA.

Went to the groundbreaking today. Tons of stuff to do, and they had signs all around showing where the features are going to be. There is also a 306degree theater giving a demo, but the line was longer than the iPhone line.
