The Village is set to embark on its largest single capital improvement project in the 72year history of the city when ground is broken for the new Civic Plaza area this fall. The $8 million project is focused near the busy intersection of Hefner Road and Pennsylvania Ave near the Love’s Corporate Campus, Village Library, City Hall, and the Hawthorn Village neighborhood.TheCivic Plaza is the final project of a massive Tax Increment District (Tiff District No. 1) created by the council in 2006 to redevelop the area following years of problems created by a large dilapidated 1970s era apartment complex that accounted for much of the crime in the city. LAUD Studio, a landscape and design firm hired by the city to develop a comprehensive plan and oversee the project, presented its final updates to the council which it approved. Now the city manager is authorized to solicit competitive bids for the Civic Plaza allowing for construction to begin as early as this fall.The massive project includes a Civic Plaza near Manchester Drive and Vineyard Blvd, a linear park from the Civic Plaza to Pennsylvania Avenue, landscaping and the reduction of Vineyard Boulevard from four lanes to three, a senior fitness center and play area, and reconfiguration of the street signals at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Vineyard Boulevard.

GOURLEY, Vice Chairman Emeritus JANNA L. GOURLEY ROUSEY, Secretary Emerita J. LELAND GOURLEY, FOUNDER
The other day I had an appointment with my Society Urologist, Dr. ScottAfterSamara.ashort wait, his friendly nurse, Janice, came after me and led me to one of those rooms where you get treated. She said, “Take off everything but your tie and socks. We’ll be back.”Ilooked around and saw a 10-gallon water jug hanging from a steel pole, a coil of about 20 feet of 2-inch garden hose and a high bed with stirrups. I also thought I saw a 35 mm camera attached to the end of the garden hose. Right away, my high level of intelligence told me this was not going to be one of my better days. But let me flash (Freudian slip) back... Two or three weeks ago I woke up with a horrible, intense pain inside the lower middle part of my torso. The location was later described to me as on the border line between my abdomen and pelvic region.After examining that general area, with me jumping at every pressure and forcing myself not to yell uncle, and giving them a sample of every fluid in my body, Doc Samara said, “I want you to get a cat-scan today.”“Doc, I thought MRI’s were later things than cat scans,” I said. “Stop trying to practice medicine,” he said, “get a cat scan.” What he didn't tell me is that the radiology lab firm (that was invented by my neighbor and friend, Dr. Bob Sukman) has since figured out a way to take two cat scans -- for two prices. My pain just had to be on a border line between two potential problem areas. After seeing the cat scan reports, Doc Samara called me and said he was sending the report to my docandgastroenterologistformetocallthatimmediately.“Therealsomaybe a problem with your esophagus,” Doc Samara said. “Then get back in touch with me.” (Esophaguses are not in Doc Samara’s domain.) Scared the hell out of my wife even though my burial insurance is fully paid.Dutifully, I called my Society Enterologist, Dr. Mark Mellow, who has experience probing me with instruments, from every angle. His nurse said for me to “come in tomorrow” so Doc Mellow could send his camera down my esophagus to my stomach. His nurse allowed me to keep on my pants and shoes. Doc Mellow pronounced my esophagus as okay.Backto Doc Samara’s office from the flashback...Iwas lying on my back on that high bed, feet in stirrups when Doc Samara’s nurse came back. She walked up to my bed, standing between my outstretched legs“Just relax,” she said. “This may hurt a little but just for a moment. I’m going to neutralize you.”“WAIT! Just a minute,” I screamed. “Have you got a knife?” “No,” she smiled sweetly, “I’m going to apply some nerve relaxant to neutralize it and deaden the pain when the Doctor inserts the catheter.”“Ishegoing to stick that garden hose down, er, up me?” I asked. “It won’t hurt,” she assured me. The Doc did come in and he did stick that hose in me and stir it around and look in that gadget he had on his end that, thank goodness, he didn't insert.Then he reached for the connection to that 10gallon jug of water and hooked it on the hose in me.“Doc,” I pleaded, “isn't there some easier way to cure dehydration? I’ll drink a gallon right here.”“I’m just going to flush out your bladder,” he said, instilling a great deal of trust and fearlessness in “Theme.full 10 gallons?” I asked.Entering into the prevailing spirit of merriment and hilarity, he smilingly replied: “No, today, we’re only using 5 gallons.” At this point, he informed me something else revealed in the cat scan.Ihave a golf-ball size bladder stone. I had never heard before that bladders had stones. We’re going to have a reunion, Society Urologist Scott Samara and Society Publisher Leland Gourley, and get rid of that stone in 12 days, August 9. If you would like to come to the party, tickets will be $10 a person. Limited seating. Mine, too.

LAUD Studio’s approved plans for the Civic Plaza to feature a fountain with plaza floor landscape lighting. The area is planned to have the capability to convert into a gathering space for markets or performances. Two covered shelters for shade and a public restroom are in the works. The Linear Park project converts the large existing right of way of Vineyard Boulevard into a landscaped park providing a safe pedestrian connector between city Hall and The Village Library.

“This is a big deal and is the culmination of a process that began in 2006 with the primary goal of removing or upgrading the blighted apartment complex next to City Hall,” said City Manager Bruce Stone. “The original plan was to renovate the apartments, but the city ended up buying the complex and selling the cleared property to a developer to build newThehomes.”Hawthorn Neighborhood was the result of that sale, which has added approximately $70 million in new property values to the“Tocity.my knowledge outside of the city constructing City Hall, the library and the fire station, I don’t think we’ve ever embarked on such an ambitious plan,” said Mayor Sonny Wilkinson. “For sure when it comes to parks. “An interesting way to think about this is that so far we’ve committed to spending almost $7 million on all our parks through two bond issues,” he said. “Our total parks improvement plan is in the ballpark of $13 million. That’s including the Civic Area.“So, just in the new Civic Area, we are spending the same amount in the next year,” he added. “This is a huge project and we are just gettingWilkinsonstarted.”said he thinks the project gives The Village a new identity and finally provides a new gathering space that isn’t Duffner Park. “Calling this project transformative doesn’t even do it all the justice it deserves,” he said. “This whole area of the city is going to look different in five years. Combine this project when it’s fuly finished with what the YMCA is considering and what Love’s continues to do as they expand their campus – for a city our size, I think that’s absolutely remarkable and somet;hing we should be proud of.” Inflation and limited funding has caused the project to be scaled back from earlier plans.

“Phase I will not include several previously announced projects including a Dog Park, Village Trail and probably will only include part of The Village Green configuration,” said city manager Stone.
The Senior Fitness and Children’s Play Area replaces the Masonic playground and instead offers an exercixe area of permanently-affixed workout equipment for all ages andStoneabilities.said he expects the project to begin this fall barring any unforseen complications and could be completed as early as fall 2023. When asked if there are additional projects in the making after this, Stone said, “Probably, but we have enough on our plate for the time being. We have $13.3 million in bond projects on the horizon that need to be done over the next five to six years including streets, sidewalks, drainage and park improvements.”
The unique shape of the site and presence of large utility easements presents opportunities for long strolling paths with screened borders leading to park programs. A street level plaza brings people down to the main path of the linear park, and provides dining space for community events with food truck service.
