We
drafted
a
livability
plan
for
2019
to
2023,
focusing
on
areas
that
the
senior
center
has
influence,
which
is
getting
our
seniors
engaged
in
activities
connecting
with
each
other
and
with
their
community
and
helping
them
find
their
voice
throughout
the
community.
As
part
of
this,
we
wanted
to
survey
our
seniors
and
get
their
opinions
about
the
livability
and
AARP
helped
us
to
do
that
with
some
tools
they
already
had
built
in
for
surveys
and
their
Network.
E
While
some
of
that
data
was
directly
relevant
to
the
senior
center,
it
was
also
feedback
that
other
City
departments
would
find
helpful
in
the
work
that
they
do.
So
as
we
strive
to
con
to
towards
the
mission
to
create
a
city
for
all,
we
thought
these
options
should
be
shared
across
the
city,
so
with
the
help
of
Don,
kostelek
and
AARP,
we've
kind
of
synthesized,
this
information
to
help
with
decision
making
and
so
I'm
going
to
invite
Don
up
here
to
share
the
results
of
that
survey.
H
Hey
thank
you:
Commissioners
councilmember,
Halliburton,
Don,
kostilek
I'm,
a
private
consultant
here
in
Boise,
with
Vitruvian
planning
and
we've
been
working
for
the
last
two
or
three
years,
providing
technical
support
to
AARP
Idaho
and
a
little
background
on
it.
How
many
of
you
knew
before
today
that
Boise
was
an
age-friendly
Community
under
the
AARP
designation?
H
Okay,
all
right!
So
you
are,
as
Denise
said.
Aarp
started
this
program
about
a
decade
ago
and
if
you
know
AARP
historically
of
you
know
talking
and
certainly
lobbying
for
things
like
Social,
Security
and
Medicare
and
stuff.
They
certainly
do
that.
However,
they've
realized
over
the
years
that
as
they
look
at
an
aging
population,
a
lot
of
community
livability
principles
apply
to
seniors
and
they
also
think
about
it
from
an
age
friendliness,
not
just
to
think
older
adults,
but
what
we
call
an
8
to
80
concept
or
on
that
a
to
80
Spectrum.
H
If
you
can
make
a
community
its
facilities
conducive
for
freedom
of
mobility
and
inclusion
for
an
eight-year-old
to
an
80
year
old,
we
can
pretty
much
capture
most
of
the
population.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
you
later
after
I
go
through
this
but
start
teeing
it
up
I'm,
going
to
ask
you
to
take
off
your
Parks
and
Rec
commission
hat
for
a
second
and
think
of
yourselves
as
a
citizen
and
I
want
you
to
think
of
non-parks
and
Rec
things
in
Boise,
whether
it's
a
facility
a
program,
a
recent
plan.
H
The
city
has
passed
that
embodies
what
age
friendliness
means,
because
one
of
the
things
we're
tasked
to
do
is
help
hone
in
the
city's
Focus
for
this
and
find
some
initiatives
moving
forward.
That
may
not
even
be
related
to
Denise's
work
in
the
senior
center,
but
could
be
things
to
better
integrate
older
adults
into
the
consideration
of
a
variety
of
things,
so
I'll
Tee,
It
Up.
That
way
to
be
thinking
about
it.
H
So
why
is
AARP
interested
in
this
I
I
teased
that
a
little
bit
we're
fast
approaching
a
point
that
in
another
10
years
the
United
States
will
have
more
adults
over
the
age
of
85
than
children
under
the
age
of
18.?
And
if
you
can
just
think
about
programs
and
services
within
a
parks
department
to
Emergency
Services
to
disabled
populations
and
all
of
those
things
that
that's
coming
at
us,
you
can
kind
of
see
why
they
would
be
interested
in
that
for
their
primary
membership
base.
H
But,
as
I
said
it's
about
people
of
all
ages,
this
year
we've
been
doing
technical
support
in
Preston,
Idaho,
Malad,
Idaho,
Cascade
and
Nampa,
and
you
can
imagine
the
the
issues
there
are
very
different.
We
were
just
talking
before
the
meeting.
Cascade
doesn't
even
have
a
pharmacy,
so
we're
talking
about
a
very
fundamental
life
and
health
situation
that
they're
dealing
with,
which
you
can
understand.
H
So
you
can
see
how
Boise's
interests
and
priorities
could
be
different
in
this
and
when
they're,
looking
at
things
like
in
this
livable
Community
graphic,
you
can
see
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
probably
relates
to
what
the
city
here
is
doing
and
I
think
the
challenge
is
finding
what
to
focus
on
giving.
So
many
things
are
in
pretty
good
shape
for
that.
H
H
So
from
that
perspective,
when
AARP
takes
National
metrics
that
they
can
compile
for
every
city
in
the
country
and
look
at
it
through
the
lens
of
these
domains,
you're
performing
pretty
well
as
a
city,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
don't
have
challenges
and
other
needs
to
address.
The
other
thing
AARP
asks
on
the
age
friendly.
Is
they
don't
expect
you
to
address
all
of
this
as
a
city
engaged
in
this
process?
They
want
you
to
find
your
own
priorities
and
work
toward
them.
H
That's
the
most
important
thing,
but
what
that
does
is
it
allows
you
more
grant
opportunities
through
them,
as
well
as
technical
assistance?
If
you've
seen
some
of
the
recent
stories
about
housing,
affordability
in
Meridian,
specifically,
we
worked
with
them
in
2021
to
Define
their
priorities.
Housing
was
one
of
three
and
they
use
that
for
AARP
to
bring
in
different
subject
matter
experts
to
help
do
that
analysis.
So
that's
one
idea
that
they
came
up
with
as
we
work
toward
that.
H
So,
as
Denise
mentioned,
you
guys
had
the
city
under
mayor
beater
did
the
original
letter
of
commitment
in
2018
mayor
McLean
re-upped
that
soon
after
taking
over-
and
this
was
also
on
the
heels
of
the
age-friendly
livability
plan
that
the
city
put
together.
That
happened
in
2019
and
we
all
had
a
fun
event
that
happened
in
early
2020
that
essentially
I
think
they
would
say
kind
of
stalled
that,
especially
at
the
senior
center
itself,
not
even
been
able
to
get
together
in
person
and
other
things.
H
Think,
where
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department
acted
on,
that
promptly
was
in
the
public
engagement
on
the
pools
at
the
two
facilities
and
trying
to
look
at
that
of
like
okay.
We
certainly
have
children
and
neighborhoods
and
other
things.
How
does
that
process
affect
our
older
adults
in
our
community,
so
Boise
by
the
Numbers?
This
is
going
on
some
of
the
more
recent
census
data
we're
in
that
240
000
population
range
and
one
out
of
every
seven
is
over
the
age
of
65.
H
If
we
look
at
the
increase
in
household
income
over
a
10-year
period
for
all
the
residents
of
the
City
compared
to
Residents
over
age
65,
as
a
percentage
of
household
income
increase,
it
did
increase
higher
for
seniors
a
27
increase
versus
the
26
for
all
households.
So,
probably
within
the
margin
of
error
on
that,
but
as
we
know,
older
adults
and
fixed
incomes,
that
overall
magnitude
can
be
a
little
bit
lower.
And
certainly,
as
we
deal
with
affordability
issues
and
things,
you
can
see
how
those
issues
would
be
a
little
more
compounded.
H
What
we've
seen
in
some
other
cities,
however,
is
in
some
of
them
on
the
order
of
like
a
34
increase
in
household
income
for
the
overall
population,
but
maybe
only
a
10
for
older
adults,
so
I
would
even
say
within
the
city
of
Boise.
When
we
look
at
this
metric,
you're,
probably
performing
a
little
bit
better
than
others
in
the
city.
Overall,
one
in
nine
in
the
population
have
a
disability.
H
H
We,
our
firm,
did
a
Community
Development
analysis,
looking
at
how
health
and
housing
specifically
and
we
looked
at
50,
different
metrics
among
Boise's,
48
or
49
census
tracts,
and
these
things
range
from
kind
of
the
things
you're,
probably
familiar
with
of
socioeconomic
status,
age,
race
and
some
other
things.
But
we
also
looked
at
access
to
bus
stops
and
even
tree
canopy
and
tree
coverage,
and
when
we
modeled
these
and
we
overlaid
those
50
data
sets,
we
attempted-
and
we
also
had
health
data.
H
For
example,
we
can
get
cardiovascular
disease
numbers
at
the
census
tract
level.
We
can
get
mental
health
numbers
at
the
census
tract
level.
We
plugged
all
that
in
and
we
tried
to
identify
which
geographic
sectors
of
the
city
were
the
most
challenged
from
a
Health
and
Social
well-being
perspective,
and
so
the
darker
color
of
purple,
those
in
tier
one
and
are
those
areas
of
the
community
that
we
modeled
in
those
metrics
as
having
more
challenges.
H
From
that
perspective
and
the
reason
we
bring
that
up
in
the
context
of
the
senior
center
is
because
of
where
it's
physically
located.
It's
not
within
some
of
those
areas,
but
I
know
this.
The
Civic
Center
or
the
senior
center
is
interested
in
kind
of
deploying
programs
to
the
branch,
libraries
and
other
things
to
get
out
in
the
neighborhoods.
H
The
city's
tree
planting
initiative
that
kicked
off
a
couple
years
ago,
as
a
result
of
our
study,
decided
to
focus
some
of
those
initial
efforts
in
those
census,
tracts,
19
and
20
that
are
kind
of
in
this
toxic
soup
of
air,
with
the
Y
interchange
and
the
air
pollution.
That's
coming
off
there
and
we
know
trees
do
well
to
do
those
things.
So
that's
how
some
of
this
stuff
ties
together
in
overall
livability
initiatives
and
then
there's
always
some
Oddities
in
here.
H
Some
of
the
census,
tracts
that
are
split
with
Meridian
are
really
small,
Boise
population
and
other
things
the
2412
up
top
is
so
few
residences.
But
it's
where
your
sewage
treatment
plants
are
so
like.
We
said,
take
some
of
that
with
a
grain
of
salt,
but
in
overlay
that
you
can
see
the
results
and
you
can
probably
relate
to
certain
populations
in
these
census
tracts
that
might
have
some
of
those
conditions.
H
Boise's
originally
livable
original
livability
plan
looked
at
and
defined
these
priority
domains.
Transportation
increase
Independence
for
older
adults
in
person
with
disabilities
by
improving
services
and
I.
Think
that
led
and
Denise
correct
me
with
of
some
contract
and
work
with
Valley
Regional
Transit
on
getting
Senior
Center
access
and
other
things
is
that
if
I
remember
that
story,
correct
social
participation,
you
know
a
huge
one.
H
So
I
think
there's
some
agreement
there.
So,
as
we
said
kind
of
your
input
today
and
and
thinking
of
these
domains,
what
ideas
do
you
have
for
that?
And
maybe
what
would
you
like
to
see
in
terms
of
some
priorities
related
to
that
so
I'm
going
to
wait?
A
second
on
that
question,
because
I'm
going
to
get
back
to
the
question.
I
promise
you.
I
B
H
Yeah
definitely,
and
if
you've
heard
the
term
aging
in
place,
you
know
becoming
something
even
from
the
standpoint
of
a
house
that
is
accessible
if
we
think
about
the
number
of
homes
that
have
a
zero
step:
entry
that
if
you
have
a
walker
or
a
wheelchair
later
in
life,
if
you
don't
have
that
it's
automatically
like
an
additional
quote-unquote
tax
to
to
bring
it
up
to
speed
but
yeah
the
Adu
ordinances,
everything
else
going
on
with
housing.
You
know
we
could.
H
We
could
chime
in
on
that
for
a
long
time
when
we
did
the
50
census
track
and
identified
those
tier
areas.
We
then
went
and
went
down
every
street
within
those
priority
ones
and
if
you've
not
noticed
the
number
of
over
55
communities
tucked
away
in
the
city
of
Boise
in
all
kinds
of
places,
it's
pretty
amazing.
The
one
behind
the
Albertsons
at
Glenwood
and
state
very
well
kept
mobile
home
park
and
one
of
the
best
things
about
it.
H
Whatever
Vision
in
the
70s,
when
that
was
built,
there's
a
pedestrian
bridge
over
the
canal
that
gives
those
folks
direct
access
into
that
development,
for
groceries
for
the
Right
Aid.
For
Goodwill
and
other
things,
that's
a
very
small
piece,
but
it
all
fits
into
that
so
excellent
others
not
related
to
housing.
I.
F
Would
just
chime
in
on
just
overall
accessibility.
This
commission
is
very,
very
concerned
and
very
interested
in
how
we
provide
access
to
everyone,
but
we
really
are
looking
at
those
demographics,
which
include
our
aging
population
on
how
they
have
access
to
not
just
a
park
or
other
City
assets,
but
just
city
services
in.
D
F
A
H
I
H
I
think
for
both,
but
you
said
and
Doug
there's
a
social
inclusion
aspect
of
that,
because
if
you
feel
isolated
in
your
home
because
of
a
basic
lack
of
access
issue
that
not
only
from
just
a
physically
being
able
to
get
somewhere
but
then
not
being
able
to
engage
in
that
and
then
yes,
certainly
the
library
and
especially
the
branch
library
and
the
technology,
has
been
a
good
one.
Any
others.
A
We've
already
alluded
to
The
Climate
the
trees,
so
the
climate
initiative
itself
that
the
city
is
doing
is
helping
with
that
they'll
continue
to,
and
it's
not
just
a
city.
But
overall
Boise
has
a
wonderful
array
of
volunteer
opportunities
which
I
think
is
really
important
for
building
Community
when
it
comes
to
all
ages.
H
It's
pretty
significant
I,
don't
remember
the
number
either,
but
in
talking
about
fixed
income
and
lowering
those
things,
even
something
as
basic
as
a
tree
can
lower
a
summer
heating
bill.
Things
like
that,
you
guys
just
had
a
big
big
plan
that
got
a
lot
of
attention
on
things
that
probably
gets
at
that
too.
What
would
that
have
been.
J
J
Yeah,
if
you
look
at
a
lot
of
the
things
that
are
on
here
as
far
as
people
being
able
to
be
social
with
each
other
people
being
able
to
walk
or
bike
and
places
to
do
that
safely,
some
of
the
pathways
that
we've
identified
all
of
our
town
and
some
of
them
actually
have
a
prioritization.
That
includes
an
equity
issue
and
we'll
be
talking
about
that.
J
H
Or
just
think
about
you
build
a
new
pathway.
You
eventually
have
to
cross
the
street
how
that
signal
is
timed
based
on
the
walking
speed
of
an
average
adult
or
an
older
adult
and
which,
which
neighborhoods
might
have
higher
percentages?
Those
are
the
kind
of
things
to
you
know,
possibly
consider
in
that
regard.
So
good
I
suggest
you
keep
thinking
of
that
you'll.
F
But
just
as
you
have
been
able
to
actually
really
look
at
a
lot
of
different
layers
of
detail
in
each
of
those
tracks,
it'd
be
more
I.
Think
it'd
be
interesting
to
us
to
continue
to
look
at
those
and
how
we
can
affect
any
opportunities
that
we
could
provide
services
in
those
areas
for
those
that
have
and
not
just
so.
F
If
it's
Transportation,
then
is
there
somewhere
in
that
area,
Denise
that
we
could
take
our
services
to
whether
it
be
a
branch,
library
or
one
of
our
school-based
community
centers
and
make
sure
that
we
start
looking
at.
How
can
we
affect
change
in
increasing
some
of
those
services
in
those
areas?
So
I
think
that's
one
thing
we
would
look
at
as
a
department
now.
H
We
had
heard
of
a
program
down
in
Oneida
County
in
Malad,
where
the
library
had
gotten
a
grant
for
20
Chromebooks
and
was
specifically
doing
technology
literacy
classes
for
older
adults
and
just
hey
you're,
being
asked
to
do
telemedicine
more
and
more
and
even
just
operating
zoom
and
other
things
can
definitely
be
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge.
Luckily,
we're
in
other
areas
we're
dealing
with
Broadband
access
and
other
things
that,
for
an
urban
area,
is
pretty
good,
but
I
think
we
also
found
in
some
of
the
lower
income,
housing
developments
and
things.
H
I
K
K
H
K
Really.
The
the
location
of
the
senior
center
being
right
next
to
the
community
center
allows
the
ability
for
our
seniors
to
be
active
right
to
help
them
with
some
of
that
programming.
But
we
can
do
more
and
we
can
work
together
in
Partnership
together
to
to
try
to
do
more
and
listen
to
what
those
needs
could
be
and.
H
Think
you
bring
up
a
great
Point
too,
that
we
emphasize
in
this
these.
These
types
of
things
are
not
a
city.
Does
it
alone.
It
is
a
partnership
thing,
whether
it's
to
school
districts,
whether
it's
to
Jesse
tree
and
non.
But
you
know
the
field
is
large
on
that
and
the
effort
should
come
from
the
different
partners.
H
So
that's
great,
but
I
can
tell
you
just
the
pickleball
thing
comes
up
every
where
and
every
time
and
if
you've
not
been
out
to
the
pickleball
courts,
just
on
the
other
side
of
the
West
y
to
see
what's
happening
there
on
a
Saturday,
you
want
to
talk
about
social
inclusion,
so
great
any
others.
Any
other
thoughts
come
to
mind.
C
H
And
I'll
add
one
more
thing:
we
are
kind
of
looking
into
with
this
effort,
and
this
just
stemmed
from
the
conversations
we've
had
with
Roseanne
and
Denise,
and
that
is
if
we
go
out
and
we're
refurbishing
a
park,
you
know:
do
we
put
equipment
in
there
that
we
did
in
1960?
You
know
we're
not
doing
metal,
slides
and
all
those
kind
of
things
that
I
know
some
of
us
had
growing
up.
If
we
go
out
and
do
all
the
stuff
we
did
at
the
library
we're
putting
new
things
in
them.
H
That's
been
doing
some
of
that
just
to
maybe
get
some
ideas
as
a
part
of
it,
certainly
not
something
to
commit
to,
but
maybe
even
something
to
survey
the
existing
clientele
at
the
senior
center,
as
well
as
those
in
an
older
age
bracket
that
might
not
use
it
of
what
would
help
bring
them
into
the
fold.
So
we'll
have
some
of
that.
H
Our
timeline
is
to
have
at
least
a
summary
report
done
around
the
March
time
frame
and
I'm
certainly
come
back
happy
to
come
back
and
and
present
those
results
and
things
to
you
and-
and
there
might
be
a
couple
other
ideas
in
there.
For
example,
you
know
if
say
you
had
an
action
item
coming
before
you
would
you
add
a
paragraph
to
a
staff
report
of
how
this
embodies
age
friendliness,
or
would
you
use
that
lens
to
maybe
design
things
and
inform
the
design
on
those
a
little
different?
C
C
L
Thank
you,
President
Carter,
hello,
commission
members.
It's
nice
to
be
here
this
afternoon,
I'm
actually
going
to
be
co-presenting
and
Jason.
If
you'd
like
to
sit
down
here,
so
you
can
whisper
into
my
ear
if
I
say
something
incorrect.
That
would
be
helpful
before
I
begin.
I
wanted
to
introduce
Jason
Miller
he's
a
licensed
professional
landscape.
Architect
that
has
been
with
us
about
six
months.
Is
that
right?
L
L
L
The
original
concept
to
turn
this
dirt
patch
frankly
into
a
park,
was
brought
to
the
city
by
the
West
bench,
neighborhood
association,
through
our
neighborhood
investment
program
and
the
neighborhood
really
wanted
to
activate
an
area
that
had
been.
You
know,
considered
a
dumping
site.
You
know
you
just
really
left
behind.
L
Unfortunately,
the
the
property
was
not
owned
by
the
city
at
the
time
it
was
owned
by
settlers,
and
so
we
entered
into
negotiations
with
the
canal
company
I
think
in
2019
to
see
what
might
be
possible
after,
as
we
all
heard,
you
know
two
years
of
of
sort
of
coveted
Focus,
we
were
able
to
turn
those
negotiations
into
an
acquisition
rather
than
an
easement,
and
so
in
July
of
22.
The
parks
department
was
able
to
acquire
through
donation
that
three
acres
just
a
funny
sidebar,
because
it
was
Canal
property.
L
As
I
mentioned,
this
all
started
in
2019,
there
was
a
public
meeting
held
at
that
time
to
get
input
and
then
a
survey
subsequent
survey
was
sent
out
the
high
school,
the
school
district
College
of
Idaho,
the
neighborhood
association.
Many
Partners
came
forward
to
support
this
effort
and
those
Concepts
and
the
visioning
that
was
done
through
the
initial
public
engagement
has
really
helped
to
inform
the
master
plan
that
you're
going
to
see
before
you
hear
in
a
few
minutes.
L
Thank
you
before
I'll.
Let
you
look
at
some
pretty
pictures,
while
I
wrap
up
a
couple
things
I
want
to
say
about
this
site
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Jason,
to
walk
you
through
the
design
elements
and
the
the
hopes
for
this
this
location.
This
is
a
key
connection
not
only
for
a
safe
route
to
schools,
because
it
will
be
a
pathway
that
connects.
L
So
there
there
will
be
a
pathway
element
to
this
project,
in
addition
to
it
being
a
linear
Park.
That
will
provide
great
connectivity
between
Hidden
Lakes
on
the
north
side
of
town
and
then
Spalding
Ranch,
which
is
a
park
property
that
we
are
actively
trying
to
design
and
activate
as
a
working
farm.
L
These
are
households
that
may
may
not
have
adequate
access
within
a
10-minute
walk,
so
we're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
bring
in
you
know,
1900
additional
individuals
to
that
service
level.
So
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Jason
and
he
can
kind
of
walk
you
through
what
this
park
will
look
like
moving
forward
and
then,
of
course,
we
will
be
asking
you
to
consider
approval
of
this
master
plan.
So
we
can
continue
the
process
of
Park
buildup.
G
As
Sarah
mentioned
it
is,
it
does
start
it.
It
is
a
really
large
long
section.
It
kind
of
starts
on
West
fircret
at
furcrest
drive
and
run
connects
all
the
way
over
to
to
neighbor
Tim's
Barbecue,
and
it's
about
a
kind
of
a
four
block
section,
which
is
a
pretty
large
and
and
long
section.
It
does
run
along
the
existing
Canal
there
and
it's
pretty
much
just
a
gravel
base
at
this
point
or
parking
lot.
G
So
U
of
I
kind
of
developed,
a
concept
that
kind
of
spurred
things
and
got
got
the
community
more
involved
and
excited
about
this
project
and
really
what
we've
tried
to
do
is
since
we
purchased
the
property,
is
kind
of
take
the
you
know
the
actual
site
limitations
and
create
something
that
is
going
to
be
really
functional
and
maintainable
for
us
long
term
as
a
as
an
organization.
So
with
that,
we
had
kind
of
three
overriding
goals
in
this
process.
G
So
when
they
need
to
access
it,
they
can
there's
two
access
points
along
the
west
side
and
then
there's
three
along
Christine
and
and
between
Christine
and
neighbor.
Tim's
Barbecue
there'll
also
be
kind
of
a
four
foot
high
chain
link
fence
that'll,
be
along
the
new
parcel
line
that
we
have
there,
which
will
be
a
really
nice
way
of
you
know
just
kind
of
defining
the
edge
of
the
park.
G
The
second
goal
is
going
to
improve
pedestrian
safety,
neighborhood
connectivity
and
accessibility
for
the
public
users,
and
so
we
did
that
by
kind
of
creating
a
10-foot
wide,
concrete
path
that
extends
from
one
in
the
park
to
the
other
and
then
there's
a
it
transitions
to
a
five
foot.
D
attached
walk
along
fur
Crest.
So
it's
this
really
nice
kind
of
long
walking,
Corridor,
that's
separated
from
the
roadway
and
gives
a
the
feeling
of
safety
along
this
path.
G
So
we're
going
to
improve
the
neighborhood
connectivity
working
with
brt
and
and
improving
the
stop
that
they
currently
have
there
now,
which
I
believe
is,
is
largely
just
a
bench.
But
essentially,
this
will
have
a
shade
structure,
a
drinking
fountain,
a
bike
repair
kit
for
people
who
are
commuting
by
bike,
who
also
have
benches
for
comfortable
seating
and
it's
adjacent
a
shade
structure,
as
proposed
in
the
center
of
the
park.
G
The
third
goal
that
was
really
was
creating
a
visually
interesting
pedestrian.
You
know
healthy
pedestrian
experience
with
locations
for
rest,
shade
and
enjoyment
apart
and
planting
spaces,
and
that
includes
the
shade
shelter.
We've
got
a
15
by
15,
shade
shelter
in
the
middle
of
the
park,
which
will
be
used
for
hosting
teaching
small
events
and
Gathering,
and
will
it
will
really
serve
a
multi-purpose
use
for
the
park.
G
There'll
also
be
seat
walls
in
the
gardens
with
berms,
no
more
Fescue
along
the
perimeter
of
the
main
Garden
to
add
visual
interest
and
then
there's
three
Gardens
within
the
design.
So
there's
a
we're
looking
at
a
essentially
a
sensory
garden,
which
would
encourage
visitors
to
kind
of
stop
slow
down
and
take
notice
and
invite
them
to
touch
smell
or
notice.
Something
special
about
the
different
plants
in
the
garden.
So
it'll
make
the
pathway
way
more
interesting
and
we'll
include
plants
like
you
know:
woolly,
sunflower
or
golden
currant
and
coyote
mint.
G
The
second
form
of
garden
we
have
is
pollinator
Garden,
which
is
right
in
front
of
the
shelter
and
kind
of
on
the
west
side
and
that'll
attract
a
lot
of
bees
and
pollinator
species
provide
habitat
for
those
which
is
kind
of
a
key
landing
spot
in
the
community
to
improve
upon,
and
then
the
the
third
option
is
going
to
be
a
kind
of
a
native
plant
garden
as
a
part
of
this
as
well.
So
we
can
really
demonstrate
our
commitment
and
value
to
our
native
plant
and
ecology.
G
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
general
overview
of
the
design
lots
of
shade
trees.
You
know
benches
along
the
way,
we're
going
to
be
primarily
using
a
perma-bark
mulch
along
the
perimeter
outside
the
main
focus
area
and
that's
done
to
limit
the
cost
of
infrastructure
in
terms
of
the
irrigation
system
and
the
effort.
That's
required.
G
We're
still
going
to
be
able
to
you,
know,
put
in
nice,
shade
trees
and
make
the
experience
nice
and
then
we're
looking
at
adding
an
art
element
with
the
art
wrap
at
the
shelter
and
then
one
of
the
key
things
that
we're
working
on
with
achd
is
right.
Now,
there's
a
section
of
the
roadway
on
Goddard
Road
and
on
Fircrest
that
essentially
doesn't
have
a
curb.
G
So
the
the
grade
between
the
street
and
the
park
are
on
the
same
level
and
just
raising
that
up
to
a
curb
level
so
that
we
can
have
like
a
safe
pedestrian
environment
for
a
and
not
risk
of.
But
you
know
the
concern
about
someone
veering
off
the
roadway,
which
does
happen
from
time
to
time,
so
that's
kind
of
really
the
gist
of
the
design.
These
are
the
kind
of
program
elements
we
had
like
the
sensory
garden
that
I
that
I
mentioned
in
the
top
left.
G
We
have
lots
of
you
know:
plants
there'll,
be
Zurich,
there'll,
be
you
know
very
consistent
with
the
Boise
typology,
but
it
having
the
shade
shade
elements,
the
seating
elements
and
we're
looking
at
the
potential
to
add
some.
You
know
like
minor
seat
wall
lighting
and
maybe
a
little
bit
of
path
lighting
as
well,
based
on
what
the
community
had
given
us
input
to
do,
and
so
we
think
all
this
together
is
going
to
create
a
really
nice
park
for
this,
this
part
of
town
and
we're
excited
to
present.
F
G
Yeah,
so
the
main
pathway
will
be
concrete,
it'll
be
a
10-foot
multi-use
path
and
then
the
secondary
kind
of
in
the
garden
area
will
be
more
of
a
crushed
rock.
You
know,
be
a
four
foot
accessible
path
and
then
we'll
have
a
few
minor,
so
the
10-foot
concrete
will
run
continuous
throughout
the
whole
site.
So
you
can
get
on
your
bike
and
comfortably
ride
it
or
walk
it,
but
there
will
be
some
minor
Crossings
in
a
couple
places
where
the
the
maintenance
needs
to
be
for
the
canal.
So.
I
G
G
K
This
is
this
is
really
exciting
to
see
in
my
previous
life.
I
was
actually
the
principal
at
Capitol
high
school
for
close
to
15
years
and
I
could
bore
you
guys
to
death
for
for
an
hour
on
some
of
the
inappropriate
activity
that
happens
in
this
in
this
section
that
you're
talking
about
from
Motocross,
writing
to
you
know,
jeeps
and
trucks.
K
This
is
just
like
you
know,
I'm,
not
the
principal
there
now,
but
if,
if
I
were
still
I'd
just
be
like
this,
this
is
going
to
be
amazing,
a
curb
and
a
sidewalk,
and
it's
it's
clean.
It's
organized
it's
safe
and
it's
just
all
of
those
things
that
the
input
you
know
that
that
we
got
from
the
from
the
meetings,
and
so
it's
you
know
just
from
a
real,
biased,
selfish
kind
of
a
of
of
a
look
this.
K
This
is
going
to
be
great
and
then,
as
it
continues
like
you're
talking
about
down
through
Christine
and
and
then
down
towards
Fircrest
as
you
go
west,
you
know
across
the
street
from
the
church
all
the
same
issues
there
at
the
church
that
I
know
they
spoke
about
so
anyway,
just
I
think
all
of
the
topography
and
the
sidewalks
the
safety
with
the
canal.
All
of
that
you
know
this
just
tremendous
I'm
really
thrilled,
so
this
will
be
fun
to
go
to
the
current
principal
and
say
wow.
C
F
F
That
would
keep
couches
and
and
discarded
mattresses
out
of
that
area,
and
it
just
grew
to
this,
because
there
really
was
a
lot
of
work
that
needed
to
be
done
and
I
really
got
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Sarah
because
she
worked
her
magic
with
settlers
in
getting
them
to
donate
the
property
you'd
mentioned
we
purchased.
We
didn't
purchase
anything
here.
This
was
this
was
a
gift
to
the
city
and
irrigation
companies
generally.
F
K
And
Sir,
if
I
can
just
add
even
right
now,
like
somebody
has
gone
through
right
now,
and
you
guys
have
kind
of
graded
that
area,
and
so
you
already
start
to
get
the
vision
of
of
really
how
this
could
be.
You
know
really
how
how
great
it
could
look
and
function,
and
so
I
mean
it
already
is
a
hundred
times
better,
and
so
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
slide
that
in
with
what
Doug
said,
it's
it's
really.
You
can
already
kind
of
see
how
that's
going
to
be.
J
It
really
is
pretty
incredible
and,
and
like
like
Doug
said
this
is
this
is
kind
of
a
proof
of
concept
as
well,
and
if
we
can
show
that
this
works
and
we
can
learn
from
it
and
find
ways
to
work
with
some
of
the
irrigation
districts
that
can
open
up
some
doors
for
some
really
unique
opportunities,
I
think
in
other
areas,
so
good
job.
Everyone
around.
M
If,
if
I
could
just
add
and
I'm
just
repeating
something
because
I'm
always
so
impressed
by
it,
is
in
my
job
as
a
lawyer,
I've
been
involved
in
litigation
between
cities
and
irrigation
districts,
I
am
astounded
that
you
were
able
to
work
this
with
settlers.
It
really
is
incredible
in
the
neighborhood
participated,
because
for
a
lot
of
good
reasons,
and
some
that
I
think
are
just
conceptual
irrigation
districts
are
so
resistant
to
these
types
of
Concepts
and
word.
Council
councilman
Halliburton
just
said
is
true.
This.
C
All
right,
all
right
so
I
think
it's
time
for
the
public
hearing.
Just
real
quick
we've
got
two
people
signed
up.
Will
when
you
approach
the
podium
state,
your
name
and
address,
we'll
keep
it
to
three
minutes
for
an
individual
and
10
for
a
group
and
I
think
it
should
be
pretty
streamlined.
So
with
that
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
and
I
first
I
have
Ron
Marley.
N
N
It
was
really
a
a
bonding
issue,
a
binding
for
the
way
that
we
do
things
in
our
neighborhood
association,
working
with
energize,
back
in
as
early
as
2018,
coming
up
with
charettes,
reaching
out
to
the
to
the
neighbors,
having
events
giving
out
ice
cream
and
showing
poster
boards
and
and
getting
people's
feedback
on
Post-it
notes.
And
we
did
this
for
the
entire
summer
of
2019..
N
N
This
project
also
lends
itself
to
a
lot
of
other
things
that
we're
interested
in
as
the
neighborhood
association,
such
as
the
the
city's
Pathways
program.
A
lot
of
us
have
been
involved
in
the
pathways
program
as
far
as
putting
our
ideas
on
the
maps
and
stuff,
and
this
particular
linear
Park
lies
right
in
the
middle
of
a
major
dream
for
the
West
bench,
neighborhood
association
and
the
West
bench
itself.
We
got
Hyatt
Wetlands,
which
is
a
great
addition.
It's
a
great
place
to
go
for
a
walk.
N
N
As
far
as
the
the
pathways
goes,
we've
got
a
a
dotted
line
that
goes
down
that
Canal
bank,
clear
down
to
Orchard
Street
in
Garden
City,
but
now
that's
Garden
City,
but
you
know
we
all
share
the
same
Pathways,
so
I
don't
know
what
can
be
done
there,
but
I
just
thought
I'd
throw
that
out
there.
That's
our
big!
That's
our
big
design
is
to
to
have
that
actually
connect,
Hyatt,
wetlands
and
and
then
down
towards
the
green
belt
down
the
East
Side.
N
Yeah,
like
I,
said
we
we
are.
We
are
dedicated
to
this
project.
We're
very
excited.
I
brought
with
me
a
little
little
thing
from
from
2019,
where
the
city
awarded
us
an
award
for
visioning
to
reality.
I
think
they
jumped
the
gun
a
little
bit,
we're
still
waiting
on
the
reality,
but
we're
excited
we're
excited
and
we
are
entirely
behind
this
project.
N
F
You
Mr
President,
commission
members,
just
real
quick
since
Ron
had
brought
it
up.
We
are
planning
on
taking
this
project
to
the
open
space
in
clean
water
committee
for
full
funding
and
we're
taking
that
to
them
on
February
1st,
and
we
anticipate
that
they
will
approve
the
funding
for
it.
We
don't
have
a
bid
yet.
F
F
O
I'm
fully
supportive
of
this.
My
girls
graduated
from
high
school
just
a
few
years
ago,
but
had
this
been
there
in
place
at
the
time
what
we
heard
about
that
that
section,
it
really
needs
something.
So
thank
you
for
supporting
this
project
and
its
position
between
Spalding
Ranch
and
the
Hyatt
Lakes
base.
It's
excellent
and
I
hope
that
this,
as
well
as
future
work
at
Spalding
Ranch,
will
help
knit
together
our
Patchwork
of
subdivisions
into
a
a
more
well-connected
Community.
Thank
you.
C
C
And
with
that,
we
don't
have
anyone
else
signed
up
and
no
one
else
on
the
online
platform.
So
I
think
we
can
close
the
public
hearing
and
so
I
guess
any
preliminary
questions
or
discussions
I
mean
just
from
my
perspective.
I
would
Echo
everything
that
was
said
at
the
outset
seems
like
a
great
project.
C
That's
an
understatement
and
a
potential
model
for
addressing
or
perhaps
enhancing
what,
when
we
all
drive
around
going
boy,
it'd
be
fun
to
walk
down
that
you
know
nice
cool,
looking
Waterway,
but
there's
there's
signs
and
whatnot
up
and
great
work
to
everyone.
So
any
other
comments.
And
then
the
action
item
is
to
vote
on
whether
to
approve
the
master
plan.
