COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND DESIGN PROCESS
<br /> From October through March, four community meetings were held to create a
<br /> master plan for the park. Area residents were invited to participate in the process
<br /> by a variety of outreach tools. Flyers were left in community stores and were
<br /> mailed to homes in the area of the park, and subsequently to meeting attendees
<br /> and other interest parties. The new marquee sign at the Northern Center was
<br /> also used to advertise each meeting (with the assistance of the branch library
<br /> staff). Attendance at the meetings ranged from 14-32 persons, and many of the
<br /> group remained engaged in the design meetings throughout. The activities at the
<br /> community meetings are summarized in the following table:
