The City Commission authorized the Department of Public Services to move forward with construction/engineering designs for the Booth Park Entry Plaza and Trail Improvement project! Designs will incorporate elements of the concept plan such as an accessible seating and gathering area, trail entry identifier and signage, a restroom facility, and native gardens. We want to share the preliminary designs with you to get your feedback! Please take our survey (below) after you watch the Parks and Recreation Board Public Input Session and presentation from May 7, 2024. The full Presentation Materials are to the right.
Preliminary Park Plan:
Background Information:
The Trail Improvement Concept Plan was updated considering all feedback received from the public and various boards and committees such as the Museum Board, the Martha Baldwin Park Board, the Multimodal Transportation Board, and staff liaisons to the sustainability committee and other boards.
The Parks and Recreation Board recommended that the updated Trail Improvements Concept Plan be forwarded to the City Commission for acceptance in August 2023.
The City Commission approved the Trail Improvement Concept Plan in September of 2023. At that time, they authorized the Department of Public Services to move forward with construction designs for the Booth Park Section of the Trail plan.
More Background Information:
Improving the City's trail system is an important Parks & Recreation bond project. A consultant (MCSA Group, Inc.) has prepared a concept plan that includes the following potential trail improvements based on input received when planning for Parks and Recreation projects. Some highlights of the concept plan include:
- Booth Park entry, and corner features including a restroom facility
- Accessible boardwalks and viewing areas
- Trail entry identifiers (5) throughout
- Connectivity, especially in the area of navigating from Willits to Maple, and including The Birmingham Museum as a point of interest.
- Confidence markers and signage/wayfinding
- New pedestrian bridges
This concept plan is in the preliminary stage. We are gathering public input in various forms such as here, on Engage Birmingham, through November 30, 2022, and also at Parks and Recreation Board meetings. Additionally, this plan will be circulated throughout all City Departments, including Planning and Engineering, and with appropriate city liaisons to relevant boards such as the Multi-Modal Transportation Board and the Museum Board.
Please review the Concept Plan, and then take the survey below.
