[Durham INC] input needed on urban open space

[Riojosie at aol.com]

WANTED - NEEDED:   NEIGHBORHOOD   PERSPECTIVE /   INPUT

The Open Space subcommittee of DOST (Durham’s Open Space and Trails 
Commission) has been working for years to get Durham to formulate, adopt, and implement 
an Urban Open Space Plan.   We are pleased that the Planning Department now 
has working on such a plan in the top 20 list of “things to do” on their 
official work plan.   We hope that within a year or so Durham may have such a plan. 
  There will be official open meetings once the plan is far enough along for 
people to comment on.   But the Open Space subcommittee of DOST will be 
working on various areas such as defining what IS urban open space and identifying 
important areas we believe should be included in an Urban Open Space Plan 
(UOSP).   

WE WANT YOUR INPUT.  How would YOU define Urban Open Space?  

Can you identify land within the Urban Growth Area that you believe should be 
preserved?

Please email any thoughts or suggestions you have.   And please join us for 
our regular meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 5:30 - 6:30pm in 
conference room B on the ground floor of City Hall, directly across the hall 
from the Planning Department.   We will welcome your presence once or many 
times.   We generally keep our meetings to one hour in length.

Sincerely,

Josie McNeil Owen
chair of DOST Subcommittee on Open Space
