The Design Brief

The Design Brief prepared by the park redesign steering committee is now available on the Documents page. As Gary wrote when introducing it to the Friends, "This document represents many (many!) hours of labour (with a spattering of blood and tears) by the intrepid steering committee members, and our writer, Jessica Humphreys. We have done our best to gather the
community's suggestions, through various means of consultation, and translate these into a document that clearly communicates our community's vision to the city and prospective park designers. This document will form the core of the next phase of this process -- the hiring of a design firm to take us into the real nitty-gritty of redesigning and redeveloping our park.

We still hope to have this park redesign and construction done by the 2012 summer season ... you can of course expect plenty more opportunities for formal community input as things move forward ... and of course the longest (informal) community meeting of all is just getting going -- our spring, summer and fall in the park!"
