Plans for site improvements to Lynch Woods Park continue to progress. The weather prevented many residents from attending our two previous Public Information Meetings, and I understand that many residents did not receive notice or see other announcements about the meetings. We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced.

In order to be sure that you have an opportunity to review the draft plans and comment, we are scheduling another meeting. A letter has been mailed to over 60 residences in the vicinity of the park and sent via email to residents who have asked to be included on the email list for the west side of Brighton. Please share this information with any interested friends and neighbors.

We hope you can join us for a presentation of the proposed plan at the

BRIGHTON TOWN BOARD MEETING
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Brighton Town Hall
7:00 PM in the Auditorium

Materials showing the draft master plan for Lynch Woods Park will be on display in the Town Hall lobby prior to the start of the Town Board meeting on Wednesday, March 10. Director of Recreation and Parks Jerry LaVigne and Tom Robinson from Environmental Design & Research will be on hand to discuss the plans.

Mr. Robinson will make an audio-visual presentation to the community and the Town Board in the Open Forum portion of the meeting, and community members will have an opportunity to ask questions and comment.

Changes to the proposed plan may be made based on public input and other information that may relate to the area. The Final plan will be presented to the Town Board for acceptance at a future Town Board meeting.

The Town of Brighton has applied for a transportation grant to fund the improvements to the park, and changes to the proposed plan need to be compatible with the grant criteria.

Additional information, including a presentation about the plan, is available on the Town website at www.townofbrighton.org/lynchwoods.htm. (click on link below)

Please contact Jerry LaVigne, Director of Parks and Recreation, for more information at 784-5261 or jerry.lavigne@townofbrighton.org.
