Letter to the Editor: LFP Vision is thoughtful diligent governance

To the Editor:

I encourage all readers to look at the Lake Forest Park Vision passed last Thursday by our current City Council: A bright ray of good news and thoughtful diligent governance!

I particularly like the focus on the metaphor of “A Village in the Forest”, defining the character and design orientation of the town center, reminding us that we need to make room for people as well as steward and conserve our natural canopy and water resources. It embraces ecologically sound principles and practices even as it recognizes the future challenges that will necessarily come in transportation, population density and the built environment of our town center.

This is good government! We’re fortunate to have a committed active City Council that is listening to and engaging with an active and committed citizenry. Now, let’s shake hands and focus on supporting the necessary conversations and legislation to realize the vision!!
