LCRA Option 1[/caption]The Lower Colorado River Authority named a stakeholder committee on July 22 to solicit public input and make recommendations for the agency’s park improvement project at the Mansfield Dam Low Water Crossing Recreation Area.
The $400,000 project on the 41-acre tract would add an entrance station with a booth, restrooms, a paved parking area and an RV site to house park hosts, or overseers. Neighbors objected to the possibility of increased traffic and crime at an April 22 open house.

The stakeholder committee will not make decisions but will collect and share input from their neighborhoods’ residents on the park design plans and possible future uses for the park, Parks Development Manager Marcia Purvis said. They are also tasked with sharing information from the project team with their neighborhoods.
A project kickoff meeting is scheduled for mid-August to introduce committee members, she said.
