(w. MEMORANDUM <br /> To: Chris Andersen, Director of Public Works <br /> Dave Whitlow, Director of Public Safety <br /> FROM: Scobert Park Advisory Committee - <br /> Neal Berry, Catherine Davenport, Douglas Ebbitt, Carol Fernlund <br /> Richard Filloy, Judy Granatstein, Michel Kovcholovsky, Jim Reed <br /> Cheryl Reinhart, Bruce Stockton, Sandra Tilcock, Alan True, <br /> Jayme Vasconcellos, Micha Wolfgang <br /> DATE: March 19, 1997 <br /> SUBJECT: Final Scobert Park Recommendations <br /> We, in our capacity as an advisory committee to the Public Safety and Public Works <br /> departments, have crafted the following recommendations to address the problems of Scobert <br /> Park. These recommendations take into account the charge we were originally given to make the <br /> park a safe and useful place for community members. They also take into account the <br /> sentiments of the public input we received at our meetings and through a written survey we <br /> distributed in the Whiteaker -Blair area in February. <br /> We have been meeting weekly with Public Safety and Public Works staff since the end of <br /> October. We have studied the history of Scobert Park, analyzed the current problems, agreed on <br /> a vision of what we would like the park to be, and developed proposals that we believe will <br /> support this vision. <br /> Our vision statement and proposals are attached. We have twenty -one proposals, divided into <br /> four different areas. Also included with our final recommendations is a list of many other ideas <br /> the committee considered before making our final recommendations. <br /> Included with, but not a part of our recommendations, is a report on the results received from our <br /> public survey in February. We distributed approximately 500 surveys, and 46 were completed <br /> and returned. While this isn't a statistically valid sample of opinion, and wasn't intended to be, <br /> the survey results do show the interests and opinions of some of the population in the areas <br /> Scobert Park is meant to serve. If you compare the survey results to our final report, you will see <br /> we made a few changes to the proposals taking into account the comments received. <br /> We appreciate your consideration, and implementation when possible, of these solutions to the <br /> problems of Scobert Park. <br /> � ,� ft,e.1 -r <br />
