Book Hill Renovation Meeting Next Week

There will be a community meeting next week to update the public on the status of the planning for the Book Hill renovation project. Click here for a summary of the first meeting. At that meeting, planners proposed several possible elements for the project, including repairs to existing infrastructure and the possibility of a new terrace. We’ll see how the plans have evolved since then.

My understanding is that the city is reprograming money from the “Triangle Park” project at the intersection of 33rd and Wisconsin and moving it to the Book Hill project instead. Apparently the crepe myrtles in the triangle park were deemed worth keeping and thus no viable plan for dramatically improving the pocket park remained. But this is great news for Book Hill since it will dramatically increase the available money.
