<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Eastgate Park is the least visited park in the Parkview Gardens neighborhood. It is <br />perceived as a source of undesirable and illicit activity. The location – bounded by two fast <br />food restaurants to the east and faces residential buildings to the north and south, which <br />limits its visibility. The proposed plan is to make it into two parks, Eastgate North and <br />Eastgate South, embedding these two parks into neighborhoods, which will restore a <br />unique historical feature lost to the development of parking to accommodate cars. <br />Because of its adjacency to Washington University’s new undergraduate housing <br />development, they have expressed interest in taking an active role in its implementation <br />and operation of Eastgate South. Eastgate North must be proceeded by the completion of <br />a Neighborhood Development Plan and Schedule. This might be a good park to include a <br />dog park and implement expanded community gardens. <br /> <br />The Parkview Gardens Park Plan encompasses the development of over 14 acres of park <br />space as well as major street and infrastructure improvement projects supported by new <br />residential and mixed-use development is an ambitious vision. Parkview Gardens Park <br />Plan can be implemented over a period of fifteen years. This can be possible by <br />staggering of projects in sequence rather than in parallel. Following this plans approval <br />there are four tasks that should begin immediately. First is the creation and approval of a <br />Neighborhood Development & Sustainability Plan. Second the creation and approval of an <br />Integrated Funding Plan. Thirdly, develop a Schematic Design Plan and Opinion of <br />Probability Cost for Metcalfe Park and Ackert Park. Lastly, the development and approval <br />of a Public-Private Partnership between the City of University City, The Parkview Gardens <br />Association and Washington University. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 p.m. <br /> <br />Submitted by <br />Joyce Pumm, City Clerk <br />
