What are your thoughts on this vision? Respect and enhance the Town Lake and the benefits of its availability for the diverse visitors for the U.S. Rowing approved race course and boating community.
What would you add, modify, or take away? Modify: Boat launch from Town Lake shore line to ensure hours of and safety requirements for operation of all watercraft on the Lake; Add: Enforce boating right of way; Add: Articulate and document in design layout and funding phases does not include build out of City of Tempe Visitor Center and Boathouse; Add: Boat break shade structures; Add: Implementation content and timelines on specificity on boat storage ie boat types, fees, rental liability; Take away: Zip line. Modify project verbiage to articulate: DTA Tempe Arts Festival remains intact in terms of location as its purpose is to benefit our Downtown Tempe merchant community.
Do you have additional input or suggestions for the project area? Deliver Transparency. Assess safety and ease of use traffic to/from site including current boat yard rather than treating as separate projects; Articulate timeline for project and document impact to current boat yard and Town Lake user community; Articulate, document, share with community current 202/Mill Ave rowing storage gaps, cost differential and plan specificity on City of Tempe accountability for coordination with ADOT; Collaborate and Reengineer City of Tempe approved artist roster to include art mediums and expertise presently unaccounted; Expand project team to directly include community members as direct resource and feedback loop; Ensure restrooms and shoreline are properly resourced to the degree current Town Lake restrooms and shoreline are maintained; Ensure City of Tempe Park Rangers and Police teams are adequately staffed to mitigate camping of unhoused community members in park area; Validate and communicate project phases and costs; Adopt and showcase solar wherever possible; Ensure project plan includes change management considerations; Monitor impact and feedback with North Tempe residents and community members as project phases are delivered.

What are your thoughts on this vision? I am not satisfied because there is NO accommodation for the multitude of water sports that already exist on the lake - ROWING, dragon boating, outrigger canoeing, sailing. Not only do local residents enjoy these activities every day, all year around, but they bring many people to Tempe from out of town and out of state to participate in events. What about these sports? Currently, three rowing clubs are located under the 202 overpass, with a long history of rowing on Tempe Town Lake and thousands of participants - youth and adults, as well as adaptive rowers.
What would you add, modify, or take away? Take away the food/bev area (8). That is too far from the path. Food/bev kiosks would be best and should be located right next to the path, where people are, under Mill ave bridge next to the path, for example.
Add a boathouse or keep the current location of the 202 underpass boatyard. It is an economical and effective way to accomodate all rowing clubs and kayakers, etc.
Do you have additional input or suggestions for the project area? There must be a plan for rowing to continue on Tempe Town Lake. Like dragon boating, we need a facility for boat storage. Many clubs are already enjoying rowing at Tempe Town Lake; we are a part of the lake community and an asset to Tempe.
The Marina facility is not large enough to accommodate all the water users who already exist -- and lake boating (rowing, kayaking etc) gets more popular every year.

What are your thoughts on this vision? It feels like everything is always about the most north area of Tempe. I'd be excited if this turned into an area that had a lot of nature and was easy to visit, but overall it feels like all the attention and budget for Tempe goes to the Rio Salado / Mill area and there aren't major initiatives for the rest of Tempe.
What would you add, modify, or take away? I think accessible parking and nature are most important

What are your thoughts on this vision? It absolutely needs to be done!!!
What would you add, modify, or take away? Add more art, more Phoenix, Arizona Tempe vibes. Don’t be boring with the skate park. Let the skaters have a say in what it looks like if you want it done right
Do you have additional input or suggestions for the project area? Let the skaters pick what we want in the skate park give us say three different designs and we choose from those three designs and maybe adjust some things so you know from the best design that gets picked to really make it something that everybody wants and that everybody can use

We need an Open plan mixed use reservable public space to meet the needs of underserved sports and activities, it must be a minimum of 85 x 105 flat shaded surface. I want roller skating and pop up events at Tempe town lake. There’s a lot of activities that groups can do on a large, smooth, covered, rentable surface and this is SUPER hard to find in the valley. Sports like roller derby and roller skating are popular but struggling because there’s few accessible and affordable places to practice
