More from COSA:
Since September, the Brackenridge Park Stakeholder Advisory Committee has met to shape a new effort by the City of San Antonio to develop a Reconciled Plan and Project Inventory for Brackenridge Park.
What is the Reconciled Plan?
In May 2023, City Council approved funding from the Midtown TIRZ to support a new planning tool for Brackenridge Park. Specifically, the effort will consider the following:
- Brackenridge Park Masterplan (2017)
- Brackenridge Park Cultural Landscape Plan (2021)
- Midtown Regional Center Plan (2019)
The result will be a Reconciled Plan and Project Inventory for Brackenridge Park. This new tool will not replace the previous plans. Instead, it will consolidate their goals and objectives and provide an inventory of projects that have been evaluated under new, objective criteria and recommended for prioritization. Stakeholders will agree on evaluation criteria to inform the project inventory.
The Stakeholder Advisory Committee has developed draft language which will be used to guide discussions surrounding the plan and inform project prioritization including: Guiding Principles (Including Equity and Accessibility); Evaluation Criteria / Project Considerations
We Want to Hear From You!
The next important step in this community-driven process is public input. Beginning in January, the consultant team and Office of Historic Preservation will launch a comprehensive public input campaign. The campaign which will include multiple Community Workshops and a month-long survey (see individual details below.) The public will also be asked to review and recommend additional guiding principles and evaluation criteria for consideration by the Stakeholder Advisory Committee.
