Residents thank council for park upgrades; BG Song announces affordable housing design showcase
Summary
A resident praised completed lighting and pavement upgrades at Carter Park and BG Song invited the public to a Dec. 9 architectural design showcase with BGSU students proposing affordable housing for a former Sentinel Tribune site.
Tim Dunn, president of the Bowling Green youth baseball program, addressed council to thank staff and councilors for upgrades at Carter Park. Dunn said the lighting project—new aluminum and steel poles and fixtures—was completed in June and that the pavement project on the park’s south end included repainted handicap spots and parking stalls. He said grant funds helped cover some costs and described strong community and visiting‑team support for the improvements.
The Mayor responded, praised the long history of Little League in Bowling Green and thanked volunteers, noting Dunn has been involved for 49 years.
Kathleen Dennis, speaking on behalf of BG Song, invited council and residents to an architectural design studio showcase produced with Bowling Green State University’s School of the Built Environment (faculty Lindsey Brusco and Ben Burkhart). Dennis said the showcase will run from noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at First Presbyterian Church, 126 South Church Street, and will display student designs that reimagine the former Sentinel Tribune property on East Poe Road as mixed‑use, moderately priced housing with landscape connections and community amenities.
Both the public comment and the announcement were delivered during the meeting’s public comment and announcements portion; no formal council action was recorded in response to these items.
