Public Meeting for Riverbend Park Labyrinth: March 3 by Jackie Piques City of Medford seeking input on design of a new meditative space at Riverbend Park.  The March 3 meeting is the latest in a series of public discussions about site re-use since 2018. The City of Medford will hold a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, March 3rd at 7:00 PM via Zoom to discuss the latest updates on the Riverbend Park Labyrinth project. Members of the Medford community are invited to attend and provide feedback on the proposed design. This 1,000 square foot corner of the park, close to the Andrews School and adjacent to where the future Clippership Connector will tie into the existing path network, showed exceptionally high levels of soil contamination during testing and is currently fenced off. This proposed project will construct a concrete cap over the area and return this corner of the park to active use by way of a meditative labyrinth space. By “capping” that section and creating options for passive/quiet use, contamination at that corner will be contained and will not pose a risk to park users or to the general public. During the March 3rd meeting, City staff, the project artist, and a representative of the Medford Arts Council will present proposed sketches and ideas for the space and ask for feedback. To register and join the meeting, visit http://bit.ly/37Dluwi. The meeting will be livestreamed through Facebook and Medford Community Media. For those unable to attend the meeting but interested in submitting feedback, a video recording of the meeting will be available at www.medfordma.org/departments/community-development, and feedback can be submitted to ocd@medford-ma.gov.   Medford city services are available to all residents, regardless of economic situation, race, gender, immigration status, ability, benefit eligibility, or religious affiliation.   Jackie Piques | February 24, 2021 at 5:36 pm | URL: https://www.medfordma.org/?p=21311
