PRIORITY ACTIONS AND PROJECTS <br />Priorities are drawn from the recommendations in Chapter 5 and are divided <br />into two categories: momentum projects and vision projects. Momentum <br />projects are short- to mid -term projects that create impact, address immediate <br />needs, and are likely achievable within the current Capital Improvement Plan <br />(CIP) structure. Vision projects, on the other hand, are larger, potentially longer <br />term projects that require additional actions or research and may require finding <br />additional funding. Together these two project categories provide a summary <br />list of key actions that will keep Elk River's parks and recreation system relevant <br />long into the future. <br />The priorities are drawn from 5 of the 6 topic areas discussed in Chapter 5: <br />improving existing parks, strengthening trail connections, connecting to the <br />river, and natural resource stewardship. <br />The other priority, maintenance, remains an essential component of a great park <br />system. Excellence in this area is, in large part, why residents are so satisfied with <br />Elk River's parks today. A challenging question for the future is how to change <br />and further develop the system while still properly maintaining and adequately <br />funding it. <br />The priorities highlight and elevate the very things that make Elk River unique. <br />They build on and celebrate the city's active, nature based identity, strong <br />community, and dedication to places people love. See the full list of priority <br />actions and projects on the following pages. <br />Draft 11 .25.14 Instruction Manual 58 <br />
