Overview

Summary

The City of Lake Forest ("City") is seeking input from qualified planning, landscape architecture, and related consulting firms regarding potential park and public‑realm improvements along Maryvine Street, located within Project Area 3 of the Southwest Lake Forest Neighborhood Improvement Initiative, as shown on Google Maps .

This Request for Information ("RFI") is intended to gather:

• Conceptual design ideas;

• Planning‑level cost ranges to support future budget discussions; and

• Public outreach strategies to support future planning and implementation.

This RFI is issued for information‑gathering purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, offer, or commitment by the City.

Background

Project Area 3 is one of Lake Forest’s older and more diverse neighborhoods and was identified in the 2025 Neighborhood Improvement Needs Assessment as lacking parks, schools, and civic amenities. Maryvine Street currently functions as a residential cut-through with limited lighting, overgrown landscaping, and no designated public space.

The Neighborhood Improvement Task Force ("NITF") has identified this corridor as a potential site for enhanced community use. A new solar streetlight is scheduled for installation on Maryvine Street, along with LED streetlight upgrades throughout Project Area 3 by early 2026.

A concept image prepared by the City’s Crime Prevention through Environmental Design ("CPTED") consultant illustrates a potential flex-park vision incorporating protective elements, enhanced lighting, and landscaping improvements.

Information received through this RFI will be used to:

• Refine and evaluate conceptual alternatives for Maryvine Street;

• Develop preliminary budget ranges to support City Council appropriation discussions; and

• Inform the scope, phasing, and outreach requirements of a future Request for Proposal (RFP).

Responses should remain conceptual and budgetary in nature. Final designs, engineered plans, or binding pricing are not expected at this stage.
