Parks Board votes to recommend trails plan and asks staff to include spine serving Creekmont/New Point/Shipman's Cove

A Parks Board member (speaker 6) asked the board to add language asking staff to include a spine or connectivity consideration for the neighborhoods north of the Fort Bend County Toll Road, citing lack of nearby parks and a need to show those neighborhoods on the plan map. "I would have a request ... that at least we get a spine to be considered to connect later," the member said during discussion of the motion.

The chair put the motion to a voice vote after a second; board members responded with 'ayes' and no opposition was audibly recorded. The board directed staff to update the exhibit maps based on the board’s comments and to carry the plan forward to Planning & Zoning and City Council with the requested consideration for that general area.
