This community meeting presentation summarized plans to renovate W Street Park playground and surrounding area. Six different concept layouts were considered to address feedback about adding nature-inspired playground equipment, maintaining existing trees, and improving site access and amenities. The final layout was approved, featuring a boardwalk accessible route to a new playground in the same location, while protecting trees and opening up use of the sledding hill. Next steps included finalizing permit drawings and posting information online for further community input.

Considerations for accessibility in the design of a trail connection on the Chorley Park hillside.
Key points:
* Must have a firm and stable surface
* Increased slope is more difficult to travel for everyone
* Peoples’ Abilities are Not Standardized
* Mobility Devices Can Climb Hills
* This Trail Will Connect Accessible Public Parks, Trails and Amenities
* Who Benefits from Improved Accessibility… all kinds of people
* Universal Design Keeps Families Together
* The City is Obliged to Minimize Barriers
* This is a recreational trail, not a “wilderness trail” under the AODA
* More Consultation is Required
For complete details on the City's requirements for building an accessible trail, please see the Accessibility Memo on the project web page, under "Working Group" (to be post very soon)

When wanting to maximize the return on the real estate you are selling, the most important step is hiring the "right" agent to represent your interests. The interview is the most critical step in this process. In fact, doing some Googleing of their name or team name can do nothing but give you more "insight" before your meeting with them. That could mean the difference between you hiring the "right realtor" and one that you are going to regret throughout the entire real estate selling process http://realtor.paris911.com is where we have our Top Santa Clarita Listing and Sellers blog located. This slideshare presentation will be posted in that location with some additional verbiage on the home sales process.
