Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br />January 15, 2020 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />Brook Parkway as it is a better location. <br /> <br />Mr. Roedel stated that the county does not support a mid-block crossing and would support a <br />Trott Brook Parkway crossing due to the easier sight line adding that the county is looking at <br />options for a safe crossing and that the county supports either Tyler St. or Trott Brook <br />Parkway for the entrance to the park. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson shared that an acceptable motion would be that the current access is not good <br />and city should be working with county and MORC to gather the costs and different impacts <br />and come back with options to choose from. <br /> <br />Kaitlin Sampson, student asked which plan will last the longest without having to change it in <br />the future due to the population growth. <br /> <br />Commissioner Williams asked where the funding is coming from for the access, driveway, and <br />parking lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker said there isn’t any funding designated for the project and the park improvement <br />fund cannot take on the project at this time. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson stated that the commission feels the current access is not safe and if there is <br />funding, they would like other accesses explored. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Soltvedt and seconded by Commissioner Rathbun to <br />recommend to City Council to relocate Hillside Park’s access to retain full access to <br />the park with the construction of CSAH 12 with future parking areas to be explored by <br />city staff and public input. Motion carried 7-0. <br /> <br />8. Discussion Items <br /> <br />8.1 Trail Condition Assessment <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared his staff report. <br /> <br />Ms. Fabish shared information about the research bike and how it can be used to gather <br />information regarding our paved trails. Condition of the trails will be evaluated, what needs <br />immediate repair and what will need funding. Images will be uploaded to google trails with a <br />cost of $9000. <br /> <br />Commissioner Soltvedt stated this will give a lot of good information to the city to aid in <br />making better informed trial maintenance decisions. <br />
