]]> The purpose of this project is to use data to conduct a policy alternative analysis and make recommendations for the City of Lynnwood’s Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Conservation (PARC) Plan. The consultants will offer an analysis of level-of-service (LOS) policy alternatives and recommendations for the City’s update to the PARC Plan by conducting data analysis, policy alternative analysis, the formation of recommendations, mid-term and final presentations to municipal clients via zoom, and report writing.

]]> Lynnwood partnered with the University of Washington Livable City Year program to provide research, analysis, and recommendations regarding level of service methodologies for the City to consider when updating its Parks, Arts, Recreation and Conservation comprehensive plan.

Lynnwood has an adopted park level of service that uses acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. Lynnwood reduced its LOS from 10 acres/1,000 residents to 3.5 acres/1,000 in 2016 due to rising land values, limited buildable lands, and cost of development. Lynnwood was seeking to adopt an alternative LOS methodology that helps our community improve access to quality parks for all residents and that is financially sustainable within the City Budget.

This project proposes using multiple data sources to analyze level of service alternatives and make recommendations for the City of Lynnwood’s update to the PARC Plan. Specifically, to complete a park usage study of all Lynnwood parks and trails to determine overall use, use patterns, and demographics of park users.
