Resident raises concerns about Hillcrest Cemetery pathway linking parks during public comment
Summary
A Temple resident told council he opposes a planned connection through Hillcrest Cemetery between a dog park and Miller’s Park, citing concerns about bicycles, dog traffic and suitability of investment.
During the public‑comment portion of the meeting, resident Alan Lytle addressed the council about plans discussed at a recent workshop to connect the dog park and Miller’s Park via Hillcrest Cemetery. Lytle said he supports the overall Hillcrest Cemetery plan but worries that a pathway linking the parks would allow bicycles and dogs through the cemetery during services and diminish the cemetery’s character.
Lytle said his remarks were intended for the workshop and that he had reviewed the presentation; he asked whether the city intends to spend substantial funds on the plan and questioned how often people visit loved ones at the cemetery relative to the proposed investment. Council thanked Lytle for his comments and said the workshop included detailed discussion of the plan. No formal council action followed public comment on this topic at the meeting.
The remarks were offered as part of the general public‑comment period rather than during a specific agenda item; staff referred comments back to the workshop discussion for follow up.
