<br />(2) YEAR COMPLETEDSt. Charles Parish Parks + Recreation Master PlanSt. Charles Parish, Louisiana
<br />Closely following the adoption of the “Bridge to the Future” 2030 Comprehensive Plan (which she also led), Silvia helped St. Charles Parish develop their first parks and recreation master plan. The goals were to build on Bridge to the Future’s vision of an efficient, cohesive, interconnected system of parks and open spaces, and to give the parish a framework for strategic, equitable decision-making about parks and recreation. One of the challenges was to reduce a disproportionate fiscal burden caused by the need for duplicate facilities, equipment, programming and personnel on each side of this river parish. The master plan included an objective evaluation and prioritization framework for existing park sites based on factors of accessibility, utilization, and recreation value. The master plan recommended that the parish consider disposing of lowest ranking sites by exploring lease terminations or ownership/maintenance transfers (e.g., to homeowners’ associations). The plan also shifted the parish’s focus to the provision of fewer larger, more centralized community or large neighborhood parks rather than many smaller, scattered neighborhood parks or pocket parks. Immediate site opportunities and future target areas were identified, based on the 2030 Future Land Use Map. Role: Project Manager/Planner/Facilitator; Cost: $79,000

<br />(2) YEAR COMPLETEDOff-Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility StudyMiami-Dade County, Florida
<br />Silvia served as Project Manager for an ambitious effort by Miami-Dade County to identify possible locations for an off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails facility. In the aftermath of several accidents in which OHV drivers were injured while riding their OHVs on the street, due to the lack of dedicated facilities, the OHV-enthusiast community clamored for the County to help provide a safe environment for their activity. In the study, Silvia and her team studied best national practices for OHV-trail facilities, developed a set of criteria for identifying and ranking sites, and then proceeded to apply the criteria to find, characterize and rank 15 sites publicly owned throughout Miami-Dade County. The long list was further narrowed by applying a second tier of criteria, as well as though the input of stakeholders in the public engagement process. The stakeholder engagement, which required a great degree of tact, included multiple OHV-enthusiast organizations, various County and external agencies, and property owners adjacent to the sites.
