Parks, Open Spaces, and Lanes Committee

The role of the Parks, Open Spaces, and Lanes Committee (POSL) is to study and provide community input on projects, such as infrastructure improvements, landscaping, and memorial designations, that are proposed on City-owned property, including parks, the playground, open space, and median strips.

Each January, the Committee provides the City Council with a list of priority measures to improve or protect Belvedere’s Parks, Open Spaces, and Lanes to inform the City's budget-setting process. Map of Belvedere Streets and Lanes.
