Please describe the deliverable you envision from the “conceptual plan” or “case analysis”?

We are dedicated to developing a Parks Master Plan that serves as a dynamic, living document, meticulously outlining our approach to enhancing and maintaining our parks and trail system. Our focus is on realistic prioritization, ensuring that the improvements we undertake are both feasible and impactful.

Central to our plan is a robust public outreach initiative. We are committed to understanding and integrating the desires and needs of our community members, ensuring that our parks system truly reflects the values and preferences of those it serves. Furthermore, our plan will include detailed cost estimates and maintenance figures, providing transparency and ensuring that our strategies are economically viable and sustainable for the long term. This comprehensive approach guarantees that our parks and trails will not only meet the current needs of our community but will continue to evolve and improve for future generations.

Please explain the quantity, types, and level of detail of the graphics you would like to include in the final report specifically any renderings, perspective drawing, maps, etc.

Our current Livingston Parks and Trails Master Plan can serve as a good reference for the types of graphics and details that we prefer. It can be found at:
