Staff discussed the possibility of <br />increasing the number of parking spots as part of this maintenance work. According to the 2016 WTRP <br />Master Plan, the lot should be reconfigured to support angled parking and one-way traffic. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />An expansion would be funded through Park Dedication and estimated at about $40,000. The Pavement <br />Management Fund supports rehabilitation of exiting pavements, not new construction/expansion. The trail <br />funded through Active Elk River is about $55,000. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Parking Lot Plans
