Commercial recreation neighborhood meetings rescheduled for June 5 & 6

The CBJ Parks & Recreation neighborhood meetings on commercial recreation activity have been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 5 for the Twin Lakes/Lemon Creek area and Thursday, June 6 for the Valley/Auke Bay area.

CBJ Parks & Recreation has partnered with Corvus Design to host neighborhood meetings throughout Juneau about commercial use on CBJ park lands and trails. These meetings are an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback as CBJ works to define a thoughtful and strategic approach to commercial use in the community’s shared trails and outdoor spaces.

Parks & Rec is currently working to create an updated CBJ Commercial Recreation Strategy that is driven by public input and supports CBJ policies and ordinances. This plan will evaluate City-managed park lands and trails for commercial use to recommend locations and restrictions, carrying capacities, intensity of use, and adaptive management guidelines.

Neighborhoods meetings are just the beginning of an extensive public process that seeks to engage the community at each stage. The input gathered at these meetings will be used to craft initial recommendations, which the community will be able to review at multiple opportunities for comment and feedback later this summer.
