Overland Park

Jan 24, 2008, Evans Station Area Planning Kickoff Meeting

Feb 12, 2008

A couple of quotes heard down at the City:

"What a great neighborhood!"

"Those folks were so great, so positive, so full of good ideas," and "I wish we got that kind of participation from other neighborhoods."

Forty people signed up to be on the "Focus Group".
The main purpose of the Focus Group is to facilitate two-way communication between the CPD Staff and neighbors. This number will be culled to a more manageable size, like 10. The RNO leaders and near property owners are most likely to populate this group.

This from Barbara Frommell at the City:

"In late summer 2008 (after the three public workshops) we will begin writing our draft plan in a type of software called Limehouse. Once completed, the draft plan will be available for all of the public to review via the web. Limehouse allows the public to easily comment on specific components of the plan, such as maps, drawings, individual paragraphs, or entire sections. The software helps us to manage these comments and allows the public to see other people?’s comments. So the software is not related to the focus group."
