Earlier this month, park district officials were hopeful a plan to build a 57-vehicle parking lot would be approved at the Jan. 14 meeting. But park district general manager Rafael Payan told The Pine Cone his agency learned just a week ago that more extensive traffic studies are now required. Without the parking lot, the park is open to the public on a limited, reservation-only basis. Vandevere — and many others, he said — would like to see it open without such restrictions as soon as possible.
