I wouldn't call the upcoming trumpeter swan exhibit new. It's just a long overdue update of an old exhibit. That pond has been there for decades -- I have photos of black-necked swans in it from 2012 and trumpeter swans in 2018.

What were the original master plan for the zoo in 1998 just being curious

In 1998 there was a funding bond passed by voters for several projects at the zoo. Over the next several years it funded the renovation of the zoo entrance, the education building, the sea lion and seal exhibit, the LAIR, the elephant exhibit, the great ape exhibits, and the Rainforest of the Americas.

Originally they also planned to build a new hippo exhibit, but it got cancelled due to cost overruns of the other projects.
