There will be some discussion of a neighborhood park–but the agenda does not specify which neighborhood. This meeting will be recorded and posted at a later date.
Wednesday: The Planning Commission will hold an open house from 5-8, at Faith Lutheran Church, regarding the South Golden Road neighborhood plan. According to the City website, “The Plan will establish parameters for types of transportation improvements, public amenities, and help guide any future land use changes in the area. While the focus will be on the main commercial corridor of South Golden Road, the larger area (for context) will include the area east of the intersection of Rimrock Drive and S. Golden Road, and the entire area south of S. Golden Road between Johnson Road and Ulysses Street, which extends all the way to US6.”
