Bountiful Bubble Closure - What was the reasoning behind that?

Remember when the Bounitful Bubble closed?   Bountiful City  closed it so that they could get the parking lot for the new South Davis Recreation Center in, was their reasoning.  It was also where the Skate Board Park was going to be placed, which is now slated for a bigger parking lot instead (needed to get rid of the possibility of that "nasty" Skate Boark Park before resistance in the Community to the removal became too great).

As anyone knows who has been following the situation, this required Viewmont, Woods Cross, and Bountiful High School's swim teams great harm.  You see the new Center was to have been open before the Bubble went down.  Instead the swim teams had to find other places to practice and schedule all of their meets away.

Now why couldn't Bountiful City have waited until the High School swim season was over?  or waited until the new pool was useable?  Go figure!...as the new recreation Center won't open now until at least February. 

One thing is for sure, everyone involved is being very tight lipped about it.  Some of the swimming folks contacted by us about it, feared retaliation if they said anything....

Do you think that there is something more to this?

It ALL seems a little shifty to me! What is to become of all of the people who've purchased memberships at the new rec center and who are simply expected to wait until some indeterminate time (I don't believe it will open even by March) to begin using facilities. Why would it be so difficult to name a firm date of some sort and simply open? It looks mostly intact, what is the hold up?
