Prioritization Exercise <br />Workshop participants were asked to prioritize the projects by identifying their top 2 priority <br />improvements. Each participant was given an orange dot (1St priority) and a green dot (2"d <br />priority) to place next to the projects listed on the wallgraphic at the front of the room. The dots <br />help to understand which projects have significant or demonstrated support from workshop <br />participants. <br />Participants showed strong support for the following projects: <br />^ Ballfields <br />^ Natural resource improvements <br />^ Dog park improvements <br />^ Restrooms <br />The following projects also received support: <br />^ Bike and pedestrian access improvements <br />^ Jogging trail improvements <br />^ Unprogrammed open space <br />^ Tennis court improvements. <br />^ Amazon Pool winterization <br />^ Bridges <br />^ Play area upgrades <br />The following projects received no dots,. but will still be considered as potential components for. <br />either park improvements, future planning goals, or current management improvements: <br />^ Picnic area upgrades <br />^ Interpretive facilities <br />^ Park acquisition <br />^ Aesthetic upgrades <br />^ Community garden <br />It should be noted that there was no support voiced for lighting ballfields, or for providing <br />additional paved parking. <br />Next Steps <br />Staff are synthesizing the results of the first workshop in order to develop an initial park <br />development program for Amazon Park. Objectives for the program include: <br />o Identifying which type and size of ballfield is most needed in this location. <br />^ Identify and provide information on potential creek and wetland enhancement projects. <br />^ Address parking and access issues. <br />^ Develop package of improvements addressing identified priorities for further public review. <br />A second public workshop will be held to present the initial plan to community members.
