I hope you are aware already of the design charrettes being conducted this week at City Hall in regards to Pioneer Park. Below is an outline of the activities. Since this exercise is focused on actual design work, a big portion of the events are centered around design professionals. However, there are many opportunities to get your input heard. Please come to City Hall Monday from 6:30-8pm and Thursday from 6:30-8pm to see the first draft and give your input. The following Thursday will also have the potential for comment. The overall master planning effort for Pioneer Park will continue through the year, but decisions about the Transit Facility and the Recreation Center / Ice Rink will come very quickly with the goal of breaking ground this summer. As always, silence implies consent. I look forward to hearing your vision for our Civic space!
