What’s Your Favorite Design For York Park?

After a string of well-attended recent community meetings since the summer, a plan to build a park on a quarter-acre vacant lot on the corner of York Boulevard and Avenue 50 is finally getting underway.

There’s just one last “hurdle”—the plan needs your vote. Soon.

As you probably know, in 2010, Councilmember José Huizar’s unveiled his “York Vision Plan,” part of which was a public-backed proposal to build a park on 4956 York Boulevard, adjacent to Café de Leche in Highland Park. 

Earlier this week, Huizar’s office and the Department of Recreation and Parks, launched an online drive to secure people’s vote for which of three designs they’d like to see implemented in the construction of York Park.

Members of the public have until 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 to vote, either online or in person at the site. Those who wish to vote online may start by clicking here and viewing the three design plans. Click on the design plans to enlarge them for better viewing. Or click here to view images of higher resolution.

Only one vote per person is permitted, and voters must be 11 years or older to vote.

Those who lack access to a computer can view the designs on Saturday at the York Park site. Stop by anytime from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to view the designs and vote in person.
