A dispute over the future of Bastrop Promenade is raising questions about the structure of a management district board. Residents who want to restore the promenade's green space are challenging the board's decision to keep a granite surface in place. The grass was removed before the FIFA World Cup Fan Fest, with district officials citing drainage and timing concerns.

However, residents argue that grass is more effective at soaking up rainwater and that the granite surface radiates more heat. Further details about the dispute and the management district board are available. The issue has sparked concerns about the board's makeup and selection process.
