The City of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho submitted an application to the BLM to lease and eventually acquire the subject parcel of land for use as a park, under the authority of the R&PP Act, as amended. The parcel, which is located in the city limits within an abandoned railroad right-of-way corridor, is described as:

The area described contains 28.69 acres as shown on the official survey plat dated January 18, 2002.

The described parcel is not needed for any Federal purpose. The classification is in the public interest and is consistent with the BLM Coeur d'Alene Resource Management Plan, dated June 29, 2007 and the Resource Management Plan Amendment approved on May 26, 2017.

Effective upon publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the above-described public land is segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including United States mining laws, except for lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act.

Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the classification. Comments on the classification should be limited to whether the land is physically suited for the proposed use, and whether the use is consistent with local planning and zoning, as well as State and Federal programs. Any adverse comments concerning the classification decision will be reviewed by the authorized officer, who may sustain, vacate, or modify the realty action.

Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
