existing fields. Stancil indicated that this hasn’t been decided, and he noted that preliminary work indicates there could be 4-6 full sized fields. The question of natural grass or artificial turf is also likely to come up. All these issues will be decided in the park planning phase. Green asked about the potential of these trails connecting with the Duke Forest trails in the nearby Duke Forest. Stancil pointed out that this area of Duke Forest has few organized trails within it. However, the possibilities are great for future trails and connection to trails to the south through the old County landfill and Greene Tract to town greenways, and northeast along Millhouse Road toward the Johnston Mill Preserve. The proposed concept planning process would call for members from the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Board and the PRC to make up a planning committee for this park. The current proposal is for three members from each board represented on this committee. Stancil noted that staff will be asked to identify volunteers to serve at the next meeting. The project design would be staffed by both County and town staff, and utilize County Landscape Architect Marabeth Carr who will work with the group to develop a plan for the park. b. RiverPark - Plans for Construction and Implementation. The grassy area between the Courthouse, District Attorney’s office and the Eno River is known as RiverPark. A master plan for this park was completed and approved when the Justice Facility Expansion was built several years ago. This plan several components, including a stage and festival lawn in the location where movies are currently shown. There is a need to update the “Riverwalk” bridge over the creek, and the Occoneechee Village will be renovated and to some degree rebuilt. The County has approved $300,000 for this project. Related to this park plan is the Town of Hillsborough planned work on Churton Street for pedestrian improvements. There will be a new bus turnout and crossing from the Weaver Street Market which comes out at the edge of the park, and this will create a new entryway of sorts, with some slope which will have to be addressed. There may be some storm water implications from this bus turnout lane, as a new drainage pipe will be put in. Because this bus stop adjoins the park, new trails from this entrance will likely need to be built. The County is will be working with the Town on this. Best guess at this time is that this work may be an early spring 2016 project. The Town’s Riverwalk goes through this park, which is also a part of the Mountains to Sea Trail (MST). Riverwalk is a Town of Hillsborough trail, although it passes through RiverPark. V. Old Business a. Letter to Board of Commissioners on 2016 Bond.
