The River Park Focus Group meets

On Saturday morning, April 12, the River Park Focus Group held a public meeting at the Columbia River Park pavilion to invite discussion of future improvements of the park area, river front, and Northwest River trail Services Building.  Mayor Leo Lutz conducted a tour of the area with the two dozen or so citizens who attended.  At the subsequent discussion and brainstorming session, several proposals were offered, among those: clearing the brush and trees from the Civil War era bridge abutment and piers to create an observation area, extending and improving walking trails, and creating a camping area.

Mayor Lutz led a tour of the grounds.

 Mary Wickenheiser offered her thoughts as Councilwoman Stephanie Weisser listened.

There were some updated maps there, but these were the only ones I could shoot effectively due to glare, etc.
