"It's not just a lake, it's also a sporting venue — and all these other places around the world have been doing all these kinds of upgrades and we haven't," Coun. Sam Austin said during the meeting.
Austin, whose district includes the lake, said he's been told by the people behind Canoe '22 that Banook has coasted on its past reputation as an excellent natural canoe-kayak racing course — but "unless we up our game, this could be the last event of this scale we host."
Austin said the changes to Findlay Park make sense, but not all residents will be happy that it likely means moving the "very well-used" park playground elsewhere.

One of these days, Sam will probably support spending tax dollars on something that residents actually want or need, but this isn't that.
