Ms. McPherson stated that any renaming of parks should be done before the maps are printed. Commissioner Reitsma stated that he felt 5,000 maps would be adequate to start with. Commissioner Huberty stated that she is in favor of the larger size map. She suggested that a "blow-up" of Woodland Trails be featured on the back of the map. Commissioner Dave Anderson stated that he liked the Minnetonka map which included a legend. He agreed with the idea to have Woodland Trails Park on the back. Commissioner Dana Anderson liked the smaller size map, since it could be folded up easily and placed in a pocket. Commissioner Pederson suggested including future designated park areas. Commissioner Dave Anderson felt that anyone interested in future parks should be looking at the Master Park Plan. Commissioner Pederson suggested that all streets and trails be highlighted or color- coded, showing routes through the city. Ms. McPherson suggested highlighting Orono Park on the back of the map, as well, and to include park regulations, a legend, information on how to rent shelters, etc. Staff will continue to work on this project and update the Commission at a future meeting. 9~.C.3. Snow'mobile TraiIDama.qe-- Report- " r Terry Bye, Park Foreman, stated that there are many areas of the city's trails which have been damaged by snowmobiles. Most of the damage has occurred because snowmobilers failed to use the designed snowmobile crossings. He displayed photos of damage, noting that a wide area approximately 100 feet long was ripped up on the trail located near the bowling alley. Mr. Bye stated that wherever snowmobiles had to stop there was damage; everywhere there was an intersection or where they had to cross a road. Any where studs were used, there was damage. He stated that all the city trails have been damaged, except where there was little use. Chair Kuester stated that the Commissioners previously decided to review the trail damage and then to form a subcommittee to review options for dealing with the issue. tJ:Le ¢ocLsensu~s that r~prCsentp.
