Planners Seek Community Input for Planning East Village Park

Developers are looking for the public’s help in planning a new park in the East Village.

A four acre slot of land is slated to be developed into a new park between 13th and 15th avenues from F to G streets that will be called East Village Green.

The planners held the first workshop for the park on Saturday, asking the public to pitch in their ideas.

"We really want to hear from the people who are going to spend every day of their lives, you know walking past the park, spending their Sundays or weekends taking their kids to the park or whatever those pieces of the puzzle end up being,” said Nathan Elliott, a landscape architect for the project. β€œI think we'd be remiss if we didn't listen to the people who have so much invested in this community."

Civic San Diego is the group coming up with the plan for the area.

During the meeting Saturday, planners showed images of fountains, cafes, and open plazas.

The architects say construction probably would not start until after 2016, and may take roughly a year and half to build.
