Dear [Name], I'm reaching out on behalf of the City of Victoria Parks and Recreation Department regarding implementation of our 2021 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, adopted November 16, 2021. Among our highest-priority initiatives (Priority A in our Work Program) is the development of a city-wide network of multi-use trails linking our parks to all residential areas — approximately 29.7 miles aligned with the Paseo de Victoria framework. Your organization is specifically identified as a key partner for: • Action 1.1.3: Trail Network Level of Service — expanding multi-use trail access • Action 1.1.4: Active Transportation Plan — city-wide bike/pedestrian network study (Short-Term priority) • Action 2.4.7: Walkshed Improvements — sidewalk and trail connections within ½ mile of parks We would welcome a conversation about coordinating planning efforts, exploring federal/state funding opportunities, and aligning our trail priorities with regional transportation planning. Would you be available for a brief meeting in the coming weeks? Thank you, [Your Name] City of Victoria Parks & Recreation Department

Dear Julie, I wanted to initiate coordination on several Short-Term regulatory actions from the 2021 Victoria Parks and Recreation Master Plan where Development Services plays a critical lead role alongside PARD: • Action 1.2.1: Parkland Dedication — amend municipal codes to require neighborhood parkland dedication as part of new development • Action 1.2.2: Pocket Park Performance Criteria — establish criteria for pocket parks in lieu of neighborhood parks • Action 1.2.3: Trail Development — require trail corridor dedication in land development codes • Action 1.2.4: Private Parks & Common Areas — require common areas/amenities in new multi-family development These are foundational Short-Term priorities that ensure our parks system keeps pace with population growth. Could we schedule a working session to review each action and map out a code amendment timeline? Thank you, [Your Name] City of Victoria Parks & Recreation Department

Hi [Name], Victoria Main Street is specifically named as a key partner in our 2021 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Work Program, and I'd love to start building that coordination. The Plan identifies three direct areas of collaboration: • Action 1.1.5: Civic Parks — new civic park space in Downtown Victoria and mixed-use development • Action 3.2.1: Event Diversification — partnering with Main Street and VCVB to build a robust events calendar at city parks (Ongoing priority) • Action 3.2.2: Marketing & Tourism — joint promotion of parks and recreational programs to tourists and new residents Your organization is the named partner for both 3.2.1 and 3.2.2. I'd love to set up a time to talk about shared events calendaring, civic park planning downtown, and VCVB collaboration. Looking forward to connecting, [Your Name] City of Victoria Parks & Recreation Department
