QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK MASTER PLAN VOLUME 2: APPENDICES Transforming Edmonton Design Standards | City of Edmonton 2009 012 USING THE IDENTITY To ensure the design retains its integrity and value it is important to consistently follow basic usage principles. any application that is not described here should be avoided. The identity can be produced either in full colour format, in all black, in all white, or in greyscale. Full Colour vErSion The full colour version should be used wherever possible. it must be displayed on a white background, and must be displayed with the requisite amount of white space surrounding it. when a white background is available the full colour version is the default position – unless there is a reason to use one of the other versions, the full colour version should be used. grEySCalE vErSion The greyscale version should be used on documents designed for black and white production. The tone of grey should remain the same in the spears originating on the left side of the identity, and vary in the spears originating on the right side of the identity. Do not use a colour version of the identity printed in black and white – use a greyscale version of the identity.

Draft or Final Plan: Draft version 6 Other city participants or partners: The Public Involvement Input Commitment is: Clear communication: the content will be presented using simple language and graphics that it are easily understandable by the public. This will facilitate improved input and feedback. Consistent: The project duration is scheduled over a 12 month period. To maintain interest and engagement in the project it is important to have consistent updates throughout. Engaging: The public involvement will be interesting and fun for the participants. It is important that the information is relevant to the project and sustains interest. Active Listening: Prior to starting the design of the park public input will be solicited to inform the park design. This will be documented by the design team and shared with the participants. Outreach: The intent of the public involvement is to widen engagement in the project design process, both demographically and geographically. Including local and city wide park users. Education: The process will be well documented to educate the public on the rationale for decisions made and how their input was incorporated into the design. This plan has been vetted through the Public Involvement Readiness Test __________________________________________________ Sign off Queen Elizabeth Park Master Plan | City of Edmonton 2013 Queen Elizabeth Park Master Plan Public Involvement Plan DRAFT version 6 Background: The Queen Elizabeth Park Plan will include high level conceptual planning for Queen DESCRIPTION OF THE Elizabeth Park as a whole, and the development of a Master Plan for the upper (south) OVERALL PROJECT OR portion of the park. The Master Plan for Upper Queen Elizabeth Park will be the primary INITIATIVE: focus of this study and will guide development and management of the upper park area over the next ten years. Whether to adopt the concept plan and master plan as an implementation framework for THE DECISION BEING MADE IS: Queen Elizabeth Park. City council will make the final decision based on the recommendations from the Parks DECISION MAKERS Branch staff. The plan will influence future development and park programming within Queen Elizabeth park, including integration with the New Walterdale Bridge. This is a an important park in the river valley system and highly visible as part of the entry sequence into the city. This project will affect a number of City Departments and will primarily affect park users, residents in the adjacent areas to the Park and park users from across the city. THE SCOPE (IMPACT, AND The development of the concept plan and master plan will be supported by a consultation COMPLEXITY) OF THIS strategy with the following key components: DECISION IS: a) a fact finding workshop at the start of the project. This will focus on collecting local knowledge and identifying key parts of the project vision. b) a workshop where design alternatives will be evaluated based on criteria developed in the first workshop. c) a public open house presenting the illustrated preferred concept. d) a public website documenting the design process and public meetings. The project begins in January of 2012 and it is proposed that the preferred plan be THE TIMELINE FOR THIS presented to Council in Winter 2012/2013. DECISION IS: Well designed public projects are built for the citizens of the City. It is important to engage with the public to create a well informed plan that results in places that are loved, well used and fit well with the design of the neighbourhood and city. THE PUBLIC IS BEING INVOLVED IN BECAUSE: It is important to engage with the public to identify local factors and desires that will inform the park design. It is equally important to identify areas of controversy or conflict early in the design process to incorporate a considered response into the park design. This process predominantly fits in (bolded) LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT: Information Sharing Consultation • Sharing information to • Testing ideas or concepts • Collaborating to develop build awareness to build knowledge solutions to build commitment Appendices Queen Elizabeth Park Master Plan Public Involvement Plan DRAFT version 6 Workshop One: Fact Finding Sharing information to build awareness: • Identify opportunities and constraints. • Policy context • 'Givens' that have been identified • Timeline for the design process Collaborating to develop solutions to build commitment by asking the following questions: • What are the key elements of the park that define its character and are important to keep? • How are people currently using the park? • How would people like to use the park, what would the like to do there that they cannot do currently? • What would people like to see in the park that doesn't exist currently? Workshop Two: Concept Evaluation Sharing information to build awareness about the conceptual approaches for the THE SPECIFIC INFORMATION park and demonstrating how the concepts address the vision and priorities identified at BEING SOUGHT IS: the Workshop One. Testing ideas or concepts to build knowledge by asking questions that focus on evaluating the concepts: • Do people agree with the Vision developed for the park? • What are people's opinion on the concept approaches for the park design? What works? What doesn't work? Collaborating to develop solutions to build commitment through confirmation of the priorities and vision for the concept plan and master plan Open House Sharing information to build awareness by presenting the final concept plan, master plan and phasing strategy for public review. Testing ideas or concepts to build knowledge by gathering input on the response to the concept plan, master plan and phasing strategy. • How is the final plan received? Collaborating to develop solutions to build commitment by asking: • Does anything need to change?
