1) Park Planning Public Outreach Meeting Tomorrow
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
PREPARED BY: Roger Steinbrock, 785-832-3458
PARK PLANNING PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETING TOMORROW
LAWRENCE - Citizens are encouraged to attend the Parks and Recreation
Department master planning meeting for the 1515 acre, leased area from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, east of the dam at Clinton Lake,
Thursday, Oct. 24, in the Wayne Bly meeting room at Holcom Park
Recreation Center, 2700 W. 27th St., at 7:30 p.m.
Representatives from Landplan Engineering, the contracted firm for
planning and designing the park, will be on hand to gather input from
the community for the future use of this regional park area and aid in
the design and long-range development of the park.
Those not able to attend the public meeting are asked to submit input,
questions or concerns to Fred DeVictor, director of the Parks and
Recreation Department, by phone at 785-832-3451 or e-mail at
fdevictor@ci.lawrence.ks.us. There will also be a display set up at the
Parks and Recreation Department office, 947 New Hampshire St., Suite
200B, for public review for two weeks after the Oct. 24 public meeting.
Individuals will be able to look at and review materials, as well as
discuss with Parks and Recreation Department staff their personal ideas
for the park.
To further develop the plan, on Monday, Nov. 18, a presentation by
Landplan Engineering will be conducted reviewing the ideas generated for
the possible uses of the park area at 7 p.m. at the East Lawrence
Recreation Center, 1245 East 15th St. Discussion and input will also
take place regarding the ideas generated by the public over the month
long, information-gathering period. The final plan will be developed
and will be presented in late December or early January at a public
meeting. The date, time and location will be announced at a later date.
The development of the 1515 acre, leased area is part of the
comprehensive plan adopted by the Lawrence City Commission last year. In
the plan, it recommended establishing a regional park utilizing the
advantages of the Clinton Lake environment and providing facilities for
events that cannot be accommodated in other parks in the system.
