INTRODUCTION SERVICE AREA VISION PARK PLANS IMPLEMENTATIONPLANNING PROCESS <br />EAST OF THE RIVER PARK MASTER PLAN <br />OPERATIONS AND <br />MAINTENANCE <br />PROJECT TIME LINE <br />The ERPMP process unfolded in six distinct stages. The <br />following is a brief stage-by-stage overview of the project. <br />1: EARLY CONNECTIONS AND THE CAC <br />At the inception of the project, MPRB staff met with multiple <br />community organizations and neighborhood organizations <br />in the Northeast and Southeast Service Area. The purpose <br />of these meetings was to build awareness of the planning <br />process and to also ask for help in broadening the applicant <br />pool for the CAC. In addition, MPRB staff attended park <br />events during this start-up phase, to gather input and <br />encourage CAC applications. <br />MPRB staff worked closely with appointments on the CAC <br />composition, to ensure broad representation. It must be <br />noted here that, as with any CAC, attendance was never <br />perfect. MPRB recognizes that the multiple evening meetings <br />demanded by the current CAC process can disproportionately <br />affect members of color and those with lower incomes. MPRB <br />will continue to work on improving access to CAC meetings, <br />including continued consideration of altered meeting, always <br />providing food during dinner-time meetings, providing <br />children’s activities, and bringing individual CAC members up <br />to speed after the fact when they cannot attend meetings. <br />2: INVENTORY, ANALYSIS, AND DATA <br />Somewhat outside the CAC and community engagement <br />process, MPRB and its consultant team prepared an inventory <br />and analysis of park assets, with descriptions of condition and <br />quality, and also a demographic analysis of the service area. <br />These documents were presented during CAC #4 and were <br />included in the Data Jam. <br />FIGURE 3 | PROJECT TIMELINE <br />VISION AN <br />D <br /> <br />D <br />I <br />S <br />C <br />O <br />V <br />E <br />R <br />Y <br />PARK PL <br />A <br />N <br />N <br />I <br />N <br />G <br />MASTER <br />P <br />L <br />A <br />N <br /> <br />A <br />P <br />P <br />R <br />O <br />V <br />A <br />L <br />OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS <br />CONCEPT <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />PREFERRED CONCEPT <br />WIDE <br />RANGE <br />OF <br />DESIRES <br />AND <br />NEEDS FINAL PLAN <br />1 <br />2 3 4EQUITY <br />PUBLIC PROCESS <br />CULTURAL DIVERSITY <br /> ADOPTION <br />REVIEW + APPROVAL <br />25
