Board narrows outreach for Barranca Mesa Park art, prioritizes neighborhood survey results
Summary
The Art and Public Places Board’s Barranca Mesa working group focused on targeted door‑hanger surveys of adjacent neighborhoods before expanding outreach; results will guide any call for art or selection.
The Art and Public Places Board’s Barranca Mesa Homesteaders working group reported a neighborhood‑first outreach approach and plans to prioritize nearby residents’ feedback before broader public outreach or open calls for art.
Chelsea (working group member) said the team distributed targeted door‑hanger surveys to the cluster of homes that most directly border the park and that results will be collected through May. Team members discussed using the August arts fair to solicit broader community input if the neighborhood responses indicate wider interest.
Board members emphasized coordinating with the Parks Board, noting that Summer Schoffler (Parks Board member) is part of the working group and will be consulted about site planning, playground or garden proposals and how art would fit alongside other park improvements.
The working group plans to present survey results at the next regular meeting; if neighborhood support is strong, the group will develop a project plan and selection process — likely a call for artists or an invited artist selection. No procurement or formal vote occurred.
