Specifically, residents want to participate in the following ways: • Review of the master plan at the time of development to ensure that the design still reflects the needs of the surrounding neighborhood • Consider ways that they may be able to participate in the construction to defer costs through in-kind labor, etc. • Review of selective brushing and clearing adjacent to existing residential properties to ensure reasonable privacy is maintained while making the park safe, secure,and comfortable for users.
