Title
Discussion of the Walk of Valor Goals - Guidance
Body
This item was originally discussed during the July 12, 2011 Administration, Finance, Recreation & Parks Committee Meeting at which time Staff was requested to move forward with this conceptual project to expand the existing Faces of War memorial with the Walk of Valor and to return to Committee with additional details, projected goals, options, and a formalized plan for further review and discussion.
The Blue Ribbon Committee has been working on the projected goals and options of this project project. The proposed goals include the following:
1. Maintain tree canopy for shade
2. Maintain serene environment for walk and monuments
3. Maintain integrity of existing monument
4. Create more defined, lighted access between parking lots and Canton Street
5. Create a more functional space for Memorial Day and other events
6. Integrate creative use of landscaping and lighting
7. Enhance views of City Hall from SR9
8. Design for optimal use of property. Don't be constrained by existing features.
9. Research historic significance of each war to determine final list of monuments.
10. Provide for expansion or recognition of future conflicts.
11. Provide for educational opportunities.
