Second Open House for Columbia View Park Expansion Project
Tuesday, February 21, 2017 - 6:00pm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 13, 2017
St. Helens, Ore. – The City of St. Helens is hosting a second open house for the Columbia View Park expansion project on Wednesday, April 26 from 6-8 p.m. at Columbia River Receptions & Events at Meriwether Place, 1070 Columbia Boulevard, St. Helens.
After reviewing community feedback from an open house held on March 17, 2017, three alternative site plans have been created for Columbia View Park. The April 26 open house will start with a brief presentation of the three proposed plans. Attendees will then have the opportunity to walk between stations that display specific elements of each site plan and offer feedback through a survey.
This open house is a perfect opportunity for your entire family to attend and participate in the decision-making process. If you have children who enjoy the outdoors and playing in parks, bring them with you. Parents can help their children fill out surveys so that the City of St. Helens can gather feedback from all age ranges on design elements and amenities for Columbia View Park. Light refreshments will be provided.
Survey feedback will be recorded and used as an integral part of outlining a plan of action for the park expansion. The Columbia View Park expansion is one of the initial projects anticipated to begin groundbreaking as part of the Waterfront Redevelopment Project. This open house is an important opportunity to provide feedback.
If you are unable to attend the open house but would like to offer feedback on specific amenities that you would like to see at Columbia View Park, send an email to ColumbiaViewPark.sthelens@gmail.com.
The City of St. Helens has partnered with Portland State University (PSU) Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) program on the Columbia View Park expansion project. The graduate program prepares students for a final project where small teams work to conceive, plan and implement a community-based planning project in close consultation with a committed client. The students’ project started in January 2017 and will continue until June 2017, the two final terms of their program. Projects give students the opportunity to gain experience working with the public and producing a professional project.
