March 4 Meeting Follow Up and Photos

A big thank you to everyone who attended the March 4th Meeting.  Students presented the latest developments in the City Pedestrian Trail, updated schematic plans for Rotary and Harborview Parks and concept plans for the newly proposed Lafayette St. Park.  After each presentation, Cape May City residents were asked to complete short surveys regarding the designs, which will give students a sense of the direction the community would like the park to take.  For Rotary and Harborview, the community was asked to cast their votes on which design to move forward with.  The next step for these two parks will be full sets of construction documents.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to come out on the fourth.  Your feedback has been critical to this design process.  Stay tuned for further developments as the project continues.  We hope to see you all again at the next meeting, scheduled for May 5, 2010.

First Community Meeting of the New Year, 3/4/10

Thursday, March 4, Temple University students will again be traveling down to Cape May, NJ to present the next development of park and city trail plans to the community.

The designs have been further developed in accordance with the community's input gathered from previous meetings and surveys.  With this information the students have been able to further develop initial concepts into more refined schematic designs.  The schematic drawings go as far as to specify construction materials and site furnishings.  From this the students have been able to draft approximate cost estimates for each design.

In addition to the Rotary Park, Harborview Park and City Trail designs students will introduce conceptual plans for the open space along Lafayette St., between Rotary Park and Cape May Elementary School.

It has been decided that further student design development of the Sewell Point Wildlife Sanctuary will be postponed until sufficient base information can be obtained.

Thursday's presentation will include:

• (2) Rotary Park Schematic Designs
• (4) Harbor View Schematic Designs
• (6) Lafayette St. Conceptual Designs
• City Trail layout and design, Guide content
