Parks plan moves closer to approval

The city’s new parks master plan moved a step closer to approval Tuesday night when the Planning and Zoning Commission gave it a green light — with some modifications.

P&Z approved a measure sending the plan and a summary of commissioners’ concerns and suggestions to the city council for consideration. 

Among the concerns were the status of Cape’s Dam, the need for swimming pools and shade structures, and making sure that residents on the east side of town get access to quality parks and recreational facilities.
