Answered: 21 Skipped:519 -- Create a Friends of Frazier Park group 12/15/2023 06:02 PM One Idea for consideration, would be to designate Selva Marina Dr, from Seminole to Saturiba Center Median as a Passive Park. Similar to FRAZIER PARK The City could get additional credits in other areas, grant applications etc, by increasing park space in the city. This would allow for more funding for upkeep, landscape improvements, and maintenance as part of the contract bid out for other parks. I think if you take a look at the Level of care / maintenance of Frazier Park ( Plaza Median) compared to the as kept condition of SMD median (with exception of in front of the AB CC) there seems to be a wide margin. Need a Parking policy along the ROW at the street, should have no overnight parking. Needs a Multiuse path winding down the middle Seminole to Saturiba, then possible for path to continue but then be shell path like in Howell park. 12/15/2023 05:43 PM Survey neighborhood regarding amenities Q12 Q Howell Park Plan Recommendation Status 1.
