<br />Council Agenda Item Cover <br />___________________________________________________________ <br />MEETING DATE: <br /> February 22, 2010 <br />AGENDA ITEM TITLE: <br /> Parkview Gardens Park Plan <br />AGENDA SECTION: <br /> New Business <br />CAN THIS ITEM BE RESCHEDULED? : <br />Yes <br />BACKGROUND REVIEW: <br />City Council adopted the Park Master Plan in <br />January, 2009. The plan identified the redevelopment of the parks in the <br />Parkview Gardens neighborhood; Metcalfe, Ackert and Eastgate as a top priority. <br />H3 Studio provided consulting services to lead a public input process to create a <br />vision for the parks in the neighborhood to serve as catalysts for neighborhood <br />revitalization with funding provided by Washington University and Parkview <br />Gardens. The study looked beyond the existing parks and made <br />recommendations to open up Metcalfe as a destination park, to utilize a <br />redesigned Ackert Park to connect the east and west neighborhoods, and to <br />relocate Eastgate to two parks with residential fronting the park from all sides. <br />H3 Studios met with stakeholders, an on-going advisory committee and with the <br />client group over the past year. The Parks Commission voted unanimously in <br />recommending the adoption of this plan and moving forward on the next step in <br />the planning process. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Approval <br /> <br />
