PPLAB members will review the existing signs and parks without signs and will make a recommendation for four signs on an Agenda Item at the next meeting. VI. McCaslin Boulevard Small Area Plan Discussion. Presenter Scott Robinson, City Planner presented three different drafts that are on the Agenda for a study session at month end. Proposals for a soft median on Centennial Parkway was discussed yet maintenance of this median would be of concern. The recommendation of the Board is to approve the idea of a soft trail within the median on Centennial Parkway that would be maintained by the developer. In addition, it is recommended to create a park adjacent to McCaslin Blvd that would serve as a safe corridor across McCaslin that connects the Mesa Open Space to the proposed East McCaslin residential areas. VII. Proposed Expansion of the Recreation / Senior Center and Upgrades to Memory Square Pool. This was presented by Susan Loo as a representative for the Recreation Center Task Force. The current budget is 28-30 million dollars and an estimated operations and maintenance cost of 500,000 annually. The Recreation center is 25 years old and is having difficulty servicing a growing population of Louisville. This proposal will be presented to City Council on July 19 and if placed on the ballot, will be voted for on Nov 8.
