Parking, sidewalks and site work flagged as priorities for safety and capacity
Summary
Board and presenter prioritized utilities and parking improvements, discussed adding sidewalks to connect the rink to the school, and reviewed a proposed parking area across from the facility to address event crowds.
During the workshop the presenter urged that utilities, parking lot repairs and drainage be prioritized in the site-work budget, putting those items ahead of nonessential landscaping or lighting. He recommended allocating available site funds first to utilities and parking to make the facility functional at higher capacity.
Board members asked about a previously proposed parking area across from the rink and about pedestrian connections to the school; the presenter said shared parking with the school has worked historically but that more formal sidewalk connections would improve safety. The board asked staff to include prioritized parking and a sidewalk option in the schematic plan.
