Airline Highway Community Park - Public Input Meetings and Survey Results
Round 1 public meetings
On Tuesday, November 10, 2020 a pair of open-house style meetings were held to offer an opportunity for the public to meet with BREC and the design team, to review exhibits of work completed to date, and to comment on the draft framework plan. Additional methods for public input were provided including a visual preference survey where attendees placed adhesive dots on photos they found attractive and desirable as amenities for the park. Also, an online survey was available where park users could prioritize recreational amenities.
Meeting “A” was held from 11am to 1pm at the Santa Maria Golf Club ballroom. Meeting “B” was held at the Highland Road Community Park Recreation Center’s community room.
