City Park Master Plan – Public Meeting #2 | December 6, 2023

Posted on by

The second public meeting for the City Park Master Planning process will be held on Wednesday, December 6 at Warren Easton Charter High School from 5:30-7:30pm. At this meeting, the results from the first survey will be shared and the Project Team will be looking for public feedback on potential improvements to how visitors get to City Park (Access) and how they move through the Park safely (Circulation).

These improvements could include adjustments to roadways, bike lanes, and pedestrian paths, as well as to the connectivity of the north and south sides of City Park.

The format for this meeting will be “Open House” style – allowing guests to arrive at any time and come and go as they please. Instead of a formal presentation that starts at a set time, the Project Team will facilitate six stations that cover different topics and enable multiple opportunities for discussion and feedback. Information will be shared through a slideshow at each station, along with models, preliminary illustrations, and diagrams. It is the second in a series of six public meetings.
