Despite the Village Council’s embrace of Wibits, inflatable playground rafts planned for Graydon Pool this summer, members of the Preserve Graydon Coalition (PGC) expressed concerns at a meeting last week.

“The irony of protesting both a swift decision by the council and the village’s willingness to invest in Graydon does not elude us,” said PGC co-chair Marcia Ringel. “However, we believe that for many reasons, this item should not be installed until a long list of concerns has been allayed.”
Perceived problems include the effect that the giant rafts would have on the visual impact of the pool; in an informal poll, the devices were called “a monstrosity,” “an enemy of open space” and “LEGOs on steroids,” according to Ringel.
