Elms, Oaks, other Native Trees and some décor trees (Crape Myrtles) Sabrina Heaton, 3706 Springfield: Are you going to have a walkway at the cul-de-sac into the park? Yes we are going to add a walkway. Amber Arseneaux, 918 Eagle: Will there be bike lanes on each side of the park? What is the parking going to be like? We see that the bike lanes will cease when there is entry into the park. Also in neighborhood park parking, typically we do not place much parking because it is designed for the neighborhood. The citizens usually walk from their homes to the park. There will be an open parking lot for the citizens after school hours at Creek View Elementary Area HOA School located next to the park. Billy Hart, 3908 Tranquil Path (President of the HOA): What is going to happen regarding traffic issues on Eagle Avenue with the school going in and the traffic with the park, etc? What is the time frame of construction with the park? Are there going to be any road closures when construction begins? Construction will start early Spring of 2010, and it should be a four to five month project. There are no road closures anticipated during this period. The park will be closed during the construction process. Discussion followed.
