Reminder: Keep Dec. 13 open for the big Glen Oak meeting

1 Comment

As I was reading the Peoria Park District Board’s minutes from their Oct. 18 meeting, it reminded me to mark Dec. 13 on my calendar for the big Glen Oak Park/School discussion:

Trustee Allen requested an upcoming agenda carry a discussion for review of the non-binding Letter of Intent with District #150 on the proposed school in Glen Oak Park. Particularly, what a school site would do to Glen Oak Park Lagoon, Amphitheatre, Tri-Centennial Playground and the Zoo.

Trustee Cummings weighed in on the discussion, noting questions he has concerning cost of new school construction and the site plan, and hearing the arguments of residents.

President Cassidy stated promise made to neighbors about notifying them of any discussions material to the school issue. Perhaps a larger venue will be needed to accommodate the number of attendees. President Cassidy suggested the meeting be held at Glen Oak Primary School
Gymnasium.

TRUSTEE ALLEN MOVED TO HAVE THE DECEMBER 13, 2006 PARK BOARD AGENDA CARRY A DISCUSSION OF THE NON-BINDING AGREEMENT REGARDING THE BUILDING OF A SCHOOL ON OR NEAR GLEN OAK PARK. STAFF WILL NOTIFY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS BY MAIL OF THE MEETING. Motion seconded by Trustee Cummings and carried on
unanimous voice vote. (Results: 5 Ayes; 0 Nays)

All together now: It’s the most wonderful time of the year….

  1. This reminds us all of the IMPORTANT meeting upcoming.(December 13th @6:00pm)
    This meeting will seal the fate of Glen Oak Park and #150s desire to move out of the core East Bluff neighborhood.

    Some of you have been active in the issue of the school site and the usage of the park. Please mark your calendars and tell anyone and everyone city wide about this meeting. It is important that OUR views be heard. The Park board, at this time is the only one now ready to talk and listen to the public in a public forum. The Glen Oak park is for EVERYONE and all need to be heard from.

    It could be “A beautiful day in the neighborhood” And in the HISTORIC Glen Oak Park!

    Martin Palmer, President East Bluff United Neighborhood Association.
