What we heard

Thanks for your input on the initial concepts.

This is what we heard:

• General support for the primary benefits - stormwater runoff collection and flood risk reduction.
• General support for the secondary benefits – habitat enhancements, park improvements, and educational opportunities.
• Preference for the concept that shows the path following the treeline along Lynmar Lane on the east edge of the park.
• Support for the path alignment in concept #2 because it preserved valued open play space.
• A 5-foot wide trail is preferred over an 8-foot wide trail.
• No support for a retaining wall.
• Desire for the planted area to look deliberate, with a recommendation to give the natural planting area a visual edge, perhaps with a mowed border.
• Desire for tall trees and flowering trees, shrubs, and plants.
• Desire to save trees along the edges and plant new trees as much as possible.
• Most, but not all, supported removing trees and shrubs in the low portions of the park to accommodate a lowered, planted area.

Your input on the initial concepts is welcome through August 6th. We'll use the input to refine the concept design.
