• <br /> Parks&Recreation Commission Work session Minutes Page 2 <br /> May 11,2016 <br /> Commissioner Niziolek would like to see a paved trail running through it and <br /> believes it would be used by hundreds every day and is a high priority item. Need to <br /> look at how it can be compatible. <br /> Council member Wagner agrees because it is a"mountain bike"park and there is <br /> nowhere to venture off safely out of Trott Book neighborhood. It would be very <br /> popular on the east side of town. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek stated to come up with a creative connection because there <br /> is a huge population in that area. <br /> Council member Wagner would love to see Hillside City Park be more of an <br /> attraction. Keeping the expert level trails within park is important. <br /> Commissioner Anderson said this is the perfect time to think outside the box and <br /> like the idea of having a paved trail because it is a magnet to draw in other park users <br /> with something for everybody. <br /> Mr. Sevcik said we need a shelter and maintenance garage combined in clearing area. <br /> Mr. Benoit shared that the entrance could be redone to offer more amenities. <br /> Mr. Sevcik suggested to put parking lot in center of park. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek wants to know what the master plan says about the <br /> surrounding property around hillside. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek asked if the park can be connected to Kliever Lake Fields. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked if this is something we do in house since we have no <br /> funds and that it would be similar to Woodland Trails and how it took 25 years to <br /> acquire all the land. <br /> Mr. Hecker stated yes,and look at funds for next year. Parking lot,road and access <br /> will be a part of the talks with MORC and looking at regional park status. <br /> 4.
