One of our resident’s discussing the Great Park and the planning process:
Newly Elected Chair of Great Park Board
Director Farrah Khan was unanimously elected Chairwoman of the Great Park Corporation Board. The Great Park Board meets before the City Council meeting on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
Veteran’s Cemetery
The State Veterans Cemetery comprehensive update is taken off the May Board agenda. Executive Director, John Russo will provide more information when available.
Bee & the Bosque
The passive park and nature trails area called the “Bee & the Bosque” is scheduled to open next month. However, the 688-acre city-FivePoint development agreement was amended to provide more time for the implementation of several park features.
Irvine’s Transparency Portal
The Great Park will be featured on the City’s transparency portal website. The Great Park – maps, amenities, future projects, and financial transactions and budget will be included.
Shade and Food at Great Park
Plans for more shade structures and food concession stands are in progress with the city and FivePoint working closely together to implement ASAP.
Public Comment
Residents wish to see an open and transparent forum for the planning of the 200-acre cultural terrace. A resident asked what came from the two community outreach meetings (2015, 2017) that identified a range of cultural attractions & the progress of a cultural terrace master plan.
