Sustainable Neighborhoods of North Central Austin will have its monthly meeting on Tuesday, August 17. Here is information from their recent mailing:
Kelly Snook, the new Parks and Recreation assistant director of operations, planning, design and construction, will speak to Sustainable Neighborhoods on Tuesday, August 17, about planning and design of pocket parks along transit corridors like Airport, Anderson, Burnet and Lamar.
Snook is also the incoming president of the Texas chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
Pocket parks are a key gap in the City’s zoning of Burnet, Lamar and other commercial streets to permit apartments and condos. Like many redevelopment issues, this is something that has to be planned for years before new buildings actually get built, or it will never happen. Snook brings experience in this area and will share her ideas with those in attendance.
