BODY
REPORT NARRATIVE:
The Bikeways, Trails, Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update process began in the Spring of 2015. This updated Master Plan will weave together three separate plans to create a current, comprehensive and community-driven tool for the City to use to prioritize improvements and investments. The Master Plan will also help support goals and programs to improve our city’s health, environment, connectivity and recreation options. The City has hired MIG, Inc. to facilitate the update process and prepare the updated master plan document.
Using survey results and discussions with the Master Plan Stakeholders Advisory Group several major policy questions have been identified. Attachment 1 outlines these policy questions for discussion by the Commission. Additionally, a draft Bikeways and Trails Map has been prepared for review and discussion.
Recommendations from the Commission will be provided to the City Council, which will conduct a workshop on the master plan update on June 22. Following the Council workshop the draft Master Plan will be prepared. Below is the planned schedule for the completion of the Master Plan update:
June/July Draft Master Plan
August Stakeholders Review of Draft Plan
September Parks and Recreation Commission Review of the Draft Plan
October City Council Review of Draft Plan and Approval
