Over the next several months, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Greenway Corridor Committee will collaboratively conduct a process to update the City's "2020 Park and Open Space Plan" and corresponding "Greenway Corridor Recreational Trail Plan" which were previously adopted in 2001 and 2002 respectively. Public involvement will be incorporated into the process to assure that the resulting plans meet the needs and expectations of the community.
The planning process, meeting calendar (see below), and opportunities for involvement and providing input/feedback will be publicized and promoted through the website and future issues of the City Newsletter. The plan updates and corresponding public process will play a critically important role in guiding the growth, development, redevelopment, and preservation of the City's parks, trails, and open spaces for the next 20 to 25 years.
As a complimentary initiative, the Parks and Recreation Commission have also begun planning to conduct a community parks and recreation needs assessment survey in the fall of 2010. The purpose of the survey will be to gather input from residents about perceptions and opinions regarding current and future needs related to existing and future parks/trails, enhancements, developments, as well as recreation programs. In addition, the survey will be an update of a previous needs assessment conducted in 1998 and may provide information about changing perceptions and trends in the community. More detailed information regarding the survey process will be provided through the fall City newsletter and the website.
