The three committees of the 2012 Phase Four process will present their report at a special meeting of the Rapid City Council at 6 p.m., June 30 in council chambers.
The committees, Economic Development, Municipal Infrastructure and Civic Improvements, heard from project proponents at six public meetings in May and June. Committee chairs Gary Drewes, Scott Amos and Gladys Storm will present their report and recommendations to the council. The committees reviewed 29 proposals from city departments and community advocates as diverse as proposals for a trolley system, a sundial bridge, airport expansion, neighborhood parks and the Main Street Plaza.
Friends of Rapid City Parks supported three proposals that would directly affect city parks: improvements to the greenway at West Boulevard and Omaha Street, completion of trails in Skyline Wilderness Park, and consideration of a crossing to the greenway over Omaha Street for pedestrians and cyclists. More information about our positions can be found on the website.
