Dixie Hieb lays out the job of the board, and what their decisions ultimately mean in reference to Terrace Park;
I have complete confidence that our City’s Parks Department and Confluence, the landscape architecture firm involved with the project, will develop a plan that both improves accessibility and protects the historic integrity of Terrace Park. I believe the planning and approval process is an opportunity to serve both of these goals, but characterizing the process as a battle between opposing groups serves only to undermine these goals. All of the parties involved care deeply about Terrace Park, and together we will find solutions that maintain the historical character of the park for generations to come.
I couldn’t agree more. This isn’t about fighting the city, this is about preserving our city. That takes transparency and cooperation.
