Commission asks residents to propose names for Southville Avenue park; public vote planned
Summary
The commission asked residents to submit name suggestions for the new park at Southville Avenue, compile recommendations by June 18, and enable a public survey on June 19 so residents can vote on shortlisted names; a naming ceremony was proposed after selection.
Commissioners agreed to solicit name suggestions from residents for the park at Southville Avenue and Julia. Staff reported the village president wants the commission to compile proposed names by the June 18 meeting so a public survey can be released June 19 with two weeks of voting.
The commission welcomed resident submissions via the commission email or by attending the June meeting to explain the reasoning behind a suggested name. After the public vote, members plan to help organize a naming ceremony and to collaborate on subsequent site design discussions for the natural park area.
Commissioners discussed examples and local nominations — including historic residents — and emphasized collecting stories to accompany name suggestions for the public survey. The timeline was set so the public could vote shortly after the commission compiles suggestions.
