Commission reviews design options for Twin Pines Park signpost and plans community survey
Summary
Commission discussed a proposed decorative directional signpost for Twin Pines Park, a short community survey and potential rotating themes; staff will include the sign in outreach and the city's newsletter.
At the Oct. 1 meeting the Belmont Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed early designs and outreach plans for a decorative directional signpost proposed for the Twin Pines Park area.
A staff presenter described preliminary mock-ups and said the city manager has advocated for the feature; staff plan to site the sign near the future gathering space on the Twin Pines pathway. The presentation showed several visual themes (beachy/nautical and nature-oriented styles) and a proposed online survey with a QR code so residents can choose preferred styles and suggest destinations to appear on the post.
Commissioners suggested public-engagement ideas, including soliciting input from local schools and rotating themed panels (for example, park distances or historical facts). One participant noted Belmont's sister city, Namur, Belgium, as a possible destination to include in the survey. Staff said the survey link will appear in the monthly city newsletter and on social media this week, and that the city manager and volunteers have contributed related enhancements (benches, an Eagle Scout-built game cabinet) for the Twin Pines gathering area.
No formal action or vote was taken; staff requested feedback and will incorporate community responses into the design process.
