Summary

Committee members were told a railing will be installed at the concrete stairs between the Winter Hill play structures, soccer field and the Innovation School playground. A council member corrected the record that Public Space & Urban Forestry (PSAF) is the implementing unit, not Parks.

The committee heard that a railing between the play structures, soccer field and the Innovation School playground will be installed following community discussion and design updates. Chair Jesse Klingen said the railing is important because the slide in that area is an accessible facility feature.

A committee member corrected the implementing department: the work will be handled by Public Space & Urban Forestry (PSAF) under Director Olivera rather than the Parks Department.

Committee members marked the item as work complete and said the administration will proceed with the installation.
