Community input is being sought by the Town of Southampton for the design of the Riverside Maritime Trail Park along the Peconic River.
The Riverside/Flanders community is invited to participate in the discussion at the next Flanders, Riverside and Northampton Community Association meeting on Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Crohan Community Center in Flanders. Araiys Design, the landscape architects hired by the town, will meet with community members to review possible design features to be incorporated into the park.
The Riverside Maritime Trail Park and Wetland Restoration project is planned for the 14-acre Suffolk County Park Property located on the Peconic River in Riverside.
“This is a chance for the community to weigh in and give their ideas and visions to the consultants to help them design what’s appropriate for this area,” Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said in a press release.
The design group will return to the community on Oct. 16 with a rough draft of what the ideas from the charrette process look like. That meeting is also scheduled for the Crohan Center at 6 p.m. At that point in the process, the community will have further input into the final design phase.
The architects will then present their plan to the Town Board in a work session scheduled for Nov. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Crohan Center with 90 percent of the design phase completed. Town Board members and members of the community will still get a chance to tweak some of the ideas before the final plan is approved and the project moves into the bidding process and construction phase, according to the press release.
