Great Rivers Greenway (GRG) canceled its Aug. 19 meeting on proposed Unger Park trail plans. Isolated thunderstorms in the area prompted GRG to call off the meeting which was slated for the pavilion at the park.
About 25 area resident showed up for the late afternoon meeting at the park. Residents expressed some frustration that they were unable to offer feedback face-to-face due to the cancellation of the meeting.
“We at Great Rivers Greenway are sorry we had to cancel the open house with such late notice – the decision to cancel was made due to predicted severe weather, and our first priority is always our community’s safety,” said a GRG spokesperson.
“Sometimes that means cancellations closer to the actual event, which we know is frustrating,” she added.
GRG is asking area residents to share comments and questions about the project on its on-line comment card (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/UngerParkOpenHouse) or share them by phone: 314-936-6256.
Comments and questions can be routed to the appropriate project team members at the headquarters of Great Rivers Greenway.
