FOLLOWUP: See and comment on Morgan Junction Park addition concepts

(WSB photo, June 22)

Seattle Parks had one of the busiest booths at last month’s Morgan Junction Community Festival, showing design concepts for the park addition so you could “vote” with sticky dots. If you missed it, now you can vote online – Parks has launched an online survey with the design concepts. It will be open until July 22nd; after that, the design team will use the online and in-person feedback to develop a “preferred design” to present to the community later this year. The survey starts here.

Once again, the “Parks Dept” has it’s own ideas, and we get to pick from three. At the Morgan display,a number of comments were written about spaces for food trucks, and a park rep stated that ‘yes, they were aware of the desires for food trucks’, but none of the designs had spaces or even indications of where they might fit in. The rep said,’that was a “detail”.If there are to be food trucks, I don’t want them to be on the street, interfering with traffic, but somewhere in the park itself, with provisions for electric and possibly even water/sewer hook-ups. At a minimum, an accessible pad to park the truck or trucks. I don’t think the Parks Dept has any thoughts or desires of dealing with food trucks, or space renting for them, they just say things to make questioners go away.They have their three pictures that they have spent much-o bucks to prepare, and you will like one of them or else.

To be clear, these aren’t concepts developed *since* the festival. This is part of the same round – that feedback and this feedback go toward the proposed final design.

I’d rather have more park space than an area for food trucks. Thriftway has a wonderful selection of noms and there are multiple restaurants/ cafes nearby. My 2cents. Guess we’ll all see when it’s done.
