Information Title: Approve Greenway and Recreation District Maps as Working Documents for Park Planning Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to approve both the greenway plan (Circle of Ramsey) and the Recreation District Maps as draft, or working documents as the basis for park planning for the Comprehensive Plan and the Park System Plan. Notification: Observations/Alternatives: Attached are the two referenced maps (within one attachment). For the meeting, Staff will review the 'theory' on the concept of park planning using Recreation Districts for park planning Additionally one outcome of the Fall Semester of the Resilient Communities Project was a series of posters that discusses the city-wide greenway plan, referred to as the Circle of Ramsey.
