Parks and Rec Dec. 7 meeting Re: goals
Parks and Recreation Commission December 6, 2016
San Luis Obispo City
Dear Chair Whitener,
Please add this as your 6t' Goal on your current list of five:
6. Pursue a new park in the North Broadway area.
Inclusion of this goal by Parks and Recreation will demonstrate to Council that your goals are
aligned with the City Strategic Plan 4.3.2.
Please share with your Commissioners the history of the General Plan statement to provide a
park in the North Broad Area which has not been fulfilled in 40 years. Residents would
appreciate not being forgotten in your goal setting! Consider a notation in your minutes to
record information that the allotment of $900,000 was earmarked by City Council toward this
park when excess Measure Y monies were dispersed
June 14, 2016. Thank you.
Parks are the fabric of good neighborhoods in good cities. I
live in the area of Throop Park at Pacheco playground and am always pleased to see
children. How special for families to bicycle here instead of driving across town or crossing
busy
city streets.
A park is a way for families to connect; it may provide the element in a neighborhood that
keeps families in San Luis Obispo. Families in some areas are such a minority because too
many neighborhoods are otherwise inhabited by dozens of college students.
Thank you all for your service to the community and I wish you best of luck with a water
allotment for grassy areas—and especially to keep trees alive!
