Post ban city makes improvements to Lambert Park

By Linda Petersen
ALPINE — The city council is considering new improvements for Lambert Park.

A proposal to improve the Bowery was presented by City Planner Austin Roy and approved by the council on May 8. The improvements will be done in three phases probably over a five-year period. Parking will be the first issue to be addressed. The fire pit will also be improved in the first phase.

Future plans include adding a stage behind the fire pit and a possible pavilion where the stage is currently located.

A plan to add 30 stalls on the south end of the park by the restrooms with buck and pole fencing and a gate was presented by City Manager Shane Sorenson on May 22. Mayor Troy Stout suggested that if there was a gate, that a pedestrian/bike gate be included.

The concept will go to the planning commission for its recommendation and then will be scheduled for a public hearing before the city council. Another plan to increase parking at Smooth Canyon Park from 21 to 74 stalls would also need to go through the same public process, Sorenson said.

The city council had previously approved the issuance of two-week vehicle permits for people unable to walk into the park to see the poppies which generally bloom the last week of May and the first week of June.

City officials are also working on approving signage for the park which would indicate that no motorized vehicles or shooting are allowed.
