The City of Erie is asking residents to help shape the future of its parks and public spaces.<\/p>\n
Officials have released the draft \u201cErie Outside\u201d plan for a 30-day public comment period.<\/p>\n
The long-term plan outlines goals for improving parks, recreation and open spaces over the next 20 years, including recommended projects, funding priorities and future investments.<\/p>\n
City leaders said the draft was developed using feedback from residents over the past year through surveys, workshops and community events.<\/p>\n
