McEuen Seminar Impresses KEA Exec

At first, I was put off by the place-the-dots-on-the-poster activity prior to the start of the event.  Yet, the workshop itself was quite impressive. Masterfully facilitated by out-of-town firm MIG, the workshop led attendees through an exercise to rate “visual preferences” for potential park designs and amenities. Then the facilitator led the audience – a nearly full crowd at Lake City Senior Center – through a discussion of what the “character” of the park should be, as the “note-taker” did a semi-impromptu live illustration of the park plans being discussed. The workshop mined some excellent ideas for connectivity, integration with Tubbs Hill, better connection to the lakefront, winter activities, and new features/Terry Harris, KEA Blog.

Question: Do you plan to attend one of the future workshops? Or to comment about the public space on the city's online site?
