Allegheny County and the Parks Foundation will holdpublic meetings regarding the North Park Lake Area Master Plan and encourage community involvement and input to assist in the planning process. The Master Plan will address the Lake Area, including the Lake Trail. The meetings will ask for community input on the Master Plan, culminating in a presentation of the final Lake Area Master Plan at the third and final meeting. GAI Consultants, Inc, an engineering and environmental consulting firm, will conduct the meeting and prepare a final report due in late January 2012. The goal of the plan is to improve a significant community asset by building on its existing strengths and historic legacy. Here is the agenda for the meetings:
- Nov. 17: Presentation of Lake Area Master Plan design alternatives including the Lake Trail. After the presentation, participants will be able to provide feedback on the various options and project elements to help craft a consensus vision for the area.
- Dec. 14: Presentation of the final Lake Area Master Plan and outlining of the next steps towards project implementation.
