Edmonston to pursue $10,000 contribution to UMD PALS park design at 51st & Decatur
Summary
Town Council reviewed designs from the University of Maryland PALS landscape class for a proposed park at 51st & Decatur and agreed to bring a vote on a $10,000 contribution to support community-engaged design work.
Mayor Tracy R. Gant and the Town Council reviewed concept designs for a neighborhood park at 51st & Decatur prepared by Dr. Deni Ruggeri’s landscape class at the University of Maryland as part of the PALS (Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability) program. Town staff said the PALS students will attend upcoming town events to gather resident input on park elements.
The council agreed to move forward with placing a $10,000 contribution to the UMD PALS program on a future meeting agenda for a vote. Administrator Rod Barnes indicated the contribution would support design and community outreach; the council did not record a final vote at the work session. Dr. Ruggeri and the UMD class will participate in town events to solicit resident feedback before the council takes formal action.
