WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) – The Watertown city council has opened the door to update Thompson Park’s master plan.
In a meeting Monday night, lawmakers unanimously approved a resolution directing city staff to gather proposals for a new plan.
It would be used as a guide for future changes.
Watertown City Manager Ken Mix spelled out what developments may need to be made.
“Parking is becoming a bigger issue with more stuff going on up there,” he said. “Electrical system, the street lighting system, the sewer system, water, all that needs to be looked at — along with the plantings, the tree plantings, that make the park the park.”
The last plan for the park was written up in 1985.
