Resident asks committee to add short accessible entrance and parking to soccer field plan
Mary Dixon, a member of the public, used the committee omment period to urge the city to consider a short paved accessible entrance and a few parking spaces from Forest Ave to the soccer track and bleachers rather than relying solely on the longer ramp arrangement.

"I go to soccer games... I have health issues," Mary Dixon said at the podium, explaining that walking up the existing stairs to reach the bleachers is difficult. She suggested using an existing paved access point near Forest Ave as a wheelchair-accessible entry that would allow people to reach the track and then move around the outside to the bleachers.

Speaker 1 (committee staff) said they would meet after the session to review a map and connect Dixon with the parks and recreation director and the school superintendent, who are partnering on fundraising and an upcoming RFP for the project. No formal action was taken during the meeting; staff asked Dixon to follow up so they can incorporate the suggestion into the design and fundraising conversations.
