"Since reopening, I've observed Balboa Park has seen about 50 percent fewer visitors than usual, and there is an active effort to reactivate the park's allure through temporary attractions and cross-institution collaboration; the proposal for an observation wheel in the Plaza de Panama is being positioned as a benefit to the park as a whole, has already been presented to the Balboa Park Committee and Cultural Partnership Board, and is currently awaiting city approval with hopes of a decision by the end of next month." - Kelly Bone
