Abstract
In an interview with Troy Reeves on July 9, 1998, Jeanne Lundell discusses her involvement with the Greenbelt and Pathways Committee beginning in the early 1990s. She describes the accomplishment of the committee in pushing back against encroachments into the setback, joining FACTS after the disbanding of the Greenbelt and Pathways Committee, and her understanding of why the committee disbanded. She expresses some of the frustration felt about the advisory role the committee played, and the disregard for some the recommendations. She notes her positive opinion of the Greenbelt in its current state, the work to try to keep the Harris Ranch development back from the riverbank, her opinion that business development has overshadowed the need to keep the river natural, and the support City leaders and staff provided to the committee. Jeanne provides insight into the design of the pathway through BSU’s campus, the Lake Harbor section, and how the Greenbelt Committee compared to other committees she served on.
