Friends of Green Lake Meeting, Tuesday September 24, 2019, Hearthstone

Convened at 7:00 PM

Attendees:
Rob ZisetteJoe MarkmanEllen HewittDick EitelSayna ParsiKaren SchurrColleen HackettAlice PoggiBrian DeLucaFred RiversGina HarmonMichael Hassold

Following around the table introductions, Rob Z chaired the meeting.

CH commented on considerations for improving the steps access to the water at the West Beach Bathhouse area. Noted was the difficulty young small children have negotiating the current large steps.

EH commented on possible tree additions to the Northbound Aurora Avenue park greenbelt side. BL noted that any young trees planted would be many years to grow before becoming preventers of cars careening off the street in to the park. Reflective pain along that Eastside curb would assist drivers to be aware of its proximity. An out of control vehicle would need a substantial barrier installed to deflect it from the park.
