News : Garrison Residents Invited to Share Ideas at Design Workshop

Residents will have the opportunity to share their ideas for improving Garrison at a design workshop hosted by the Garrison visioning committee at St. Mark's Lutheran Church on Tuesday, June 7th. This workshop is the culmination of an input-gathering process to identify transportation needs and opportunities for enhancements in Garrison. Information collected at public input gathering events conducted earlier this spring will be incorporated into a conceptual transportation and landscape enhancement plan. A design team will be working at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 101 N. Walnut St in Garrison throughout the workshop to develop a conceptual plan that meets the goals and needs of Garrison. The public is invited to stop in between 1pm and 5pm to provide input on the designs. Results from focus-group workshops will also be available. The workshop will conclude with a review of the preliminary designs created during the workshop. The review is from 6:30pm to 7:15pm at St Mark's Lutheran Church and is open to the public. To learn more about participating in the design workshop, please call Teresa Meyer at 319-640-0119 or Patty Reisinger, Trees Forever field coordinator, at 319-350-4185. The Iowa's Living Roadways Community Visioning Program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation in partnership with Iowa State University Extension Landscape Architecture and Trees Forever.
