The Lake Forest Park Legacy:
Help Shape the Present and Future of Lake Forest Park
Public Meeting: Monday October 29, 2007, 7–9 pm
What will the next 100 years look like? One hundred years ago, most people living in the U.S. were male, under 23 years old, lived in the country, and rented their homes. Almost half of all the people in the U.S. lived in households with five or more other people. Today, most people in the U.S. are female, 35 years old or older, and live in metropolitan areas where they own their home. Most people in the U.S. now either live alone or in a household with no more than one or two other people.
In September over 60 people offered their ideas for a vision of Lake Forest Park’s “green infrastructure.” Using McAleer and Lyon creek watersheds as the geographic focus, small groups designed options for trails to connect the community, places to gather, habitat and natural drainage. Go to the Lake Forest Park Legacy area of the City Website. See the work of the charrette and add comments and suggestions.
The next public meeting will be on Monday evening, October 29, 2007, 7–9 pm at Third Place Commons. Join us to set priorities for City projects for the present and future. Help form the City’s Capital Improvement Projects plan.
This is an important opportunity to lend your voice to creating a plan for the future of our City.
