Parks&Recreation Commission Minutes Page 2 <br /> January 15,2020Ili <br /> 7.1 Hillside Park Access <br /> Ms. Fabish presented information regarding the CSAH 12 reconstruction and how it impacts <br /> Hillside Park to having a right in and right out of the parking lot. Two options are proposed: <br /> Access off Tyler St. or off the extension of Trott Brook Parkway. <br /> Tyler St. access would relocate the parking lot and driveway acquisition would be needed from <br /> the townhome homeowner's association. Trott Brook Parkway access would need a new <br /> driveway location off the extension and the lot would be shifted and impacts both areas 1 and <br /> 4 of the trails. <br /> David Roedel,Deputy County Engineer,talked about the CSAH 12 project and its impact on <br /> the Hillside Park entrance. <br /> Commissioner Rathbun asked about the safety of doing a U-turns after leaving the park. <br /> Mr. Roedel shared that County engineering staff looked at that and went with protected left <br /> turn lanes. <br /> Commissioner Soltvedt asked if there would be a marked cross walk at Trott Brook Parkway <br /> going North and South. <br /> 110 <br /> Mr. Roedel stated that the county has great concern over putting in a crosswalk and they are <br /> looking at several options. <br /> Graydon Betts, Hillside Park Steward,422 Proctor Ave,NW. Shared that MORC members <br /> agree that the access would be best at Tyler St. as there would be less impact on trails within <br /> the park then if the entrance was put at Trott Brook Parkway. <br /> Mr. Hecker reminded commission members that the trail improvements were made with park <br /> improvement funds and used a contractor a few years ago. <br /> Ms. Fabish shared that there are grade issues at both access points. <br /> Mr. Betts shared that although Trott Brook access looks like it would not take much to <br /> change,it would impact all trails to the south which would mean a higher cost in redesigning <br /> and rebuilding them. <br /> Ms. Fabish shared that if we left the proposed access and wanted to change it later than the <br /> cost would be on the city. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek shared that a safe pedestrian crossing needs to be achieved at Trott <br /> ► 1 ■ EIEI / t 1111 <br /> INATLE <br />
