Parks staff proposes downtown CIP tour for PRAB; board favors Friday mornings
Summary
Staff proposed a CIP tour focused on Boulder Creek Park, the Pearl Street Mall and Barker Park; board members preferred a Friday morning walking tour and asked staff to circulate dates in September or October.
Staff asked the board whether members would like an annual CIP tour and proposed a downtown walking route that would include Boulder Creek Park, the Pearl Street Mall and Barker Park — the latter site will host the city’s first permanent nature‑play playground.
Allie Rhodes said the itinerary would mirror last year’s successful tour and that staff could arrange project managers to explain designs in the field. "We would love to walk through Boulder Creek Park... and then walk the Pearl Street Mall and talk about its condition and the planned improvements," she said.
Board members favored a walking, Friday‑morning tour in September or October and suggested adding Tom Watson as an optional stop because it is a high‑profile active project. Staff agreed to circulate two or three Friday options and to confirm project manager availability. No formal action or funding decisions were made; the tour is planned as an informational field visit for PRAB members.
