Jenks schedules three open houses on ranch park planning; INCOG trail open house set for next day
Summary
City staff announced three public open houses to gather input on the ranch property and 400 acres west of the turnpike, and said the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) will hold a come-and-go open house on a proposed sidewalk-trail plan tomorrow evening at city hall.
City Manager staff announced a series of public engagement events seeking input on the future of city-owned ranch property and other large parcels.
Assistant City Manager Robert Carr said three open houses are tentatively scheduled to gather public comments on the ranch property and roughly 400 acres west of the Turnpike that the city plans as permanent park and open space. The meetings are planned for Thursday, July 10 (5:30–7:30 p.m.), Tuesday, July 22 (7:30–9:30 a.m.) and Saturday, Aug. 9 (4–6 p.m.). The city indicated there will also be an online input option.
Carr also announced an open house by the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) scheduled for the next day in the council chamber. The INCOG session, a come-and-go display from 5:30 to 7 p.m., will show boards with options for a sidewalk-trail system connecting Turkey Mountain through Jenks and potentially tying to a future low-water dam trail.
Carr said the open houses are intended to provide multiple days and times so residents with different schedules can attend.
Ending: Staff said the city will publicize the meetings on social media and the city website; council members encouraged residents to attend and stressed that the public’s ideas will help shape park and trail plans.
