On Wednesday, September 5, UGA Masters of Landscape
Architecture graduate Rachel Johnson presented her finalized renderings of
Lakeshore Park and Threadmill Lake to the Archway Partnership Executive
Committee. Rachel’s presentation to the
Executive Committee reflected almost a year’s worth of collaboration between
UGA College of Environment and Design (CED) students and community partners as
they worked to make these properties more accessible and enjoyable to the
public. In addition to the requested
work on the projects, Rachel demonstrated how a trail system could be
implemented linking several local parks and green spaces, including Brookwood
Park, Threadmill Lake, Lakeshore Park, and Al Rollins Park. Rachel also highlighted ways to connect to
Brookwood Elementary, a neighboring school that can benefit from the
improvements.
The Executive Committee was very interested in the
projects both from a community amenity standpoint and from a storm water
infrastructure perspective. Over the
next month, the committee will explore implementation logistics and feasibility
with community partners.
