It’s because of an excellent article in UAB Magazine’s Fall 2007 issue about our city’s renewed interest in completing the Olmstead Brothers’ park plan, specifically the city’s Park-nership project focusing on Railroad Reservation Park, Red Mountain Park and Ruffner Mountain Nature Center.

It’s also a great time to focus on this piece as our City Council will vote to formally enter into a management agreement with the Friends of the Railroad District to manage Railroad Reservation Park during their regularly scheduled meeting this morning (items 11 & 15 on the council agenda – PDF).
