CENTRAL PARK UPDATE AND PENDING ISSUES
Mayor Awada discussed her strong interest in developing a streetscaping plan for the
entire central area. She stated that there should be a cohesive approach to the development of
any roads or road improvements within the central area, defined loosely as the area between
Lexington Avenue, the Ring Road and Community Center, and including Cedarvale. She stated
that the Council would discuss the matter as a group on January 30 and would provide direction
to staff at that time to move forward with a plan.
Councilmember Carlson arrived at 12:00.
Mr. Symynkywicz reviewed three options for the NW A road connection, varying in
length, location and price. After review and discussion, the committee determined the best
recommendation would be to maintain the current proposed road alignment.
Mr. Symynkywicz reviewed three options for the wetland feature on the site and its
interaction with the building and the purposes identified by the committee, including analysis of
the amount of wetland mitigation needed and price. After brief discussion, the committee agreed
on a set of recommendations to make to the full Council, including minimal wetland mitigation,
a water feature and a skating rink to free from storm water impact.
