o <br /> <br />It appears that the County Road 1 improvement project will <br />begin in 1996. The Commission and Council need to review this <br />project as it relates to pedestrians. This again relates to trail <br />development. The main issues are a detached versus attached <br />trail system and a tunnel underneath County Road I at the <br />railroad trail location. If the trail is part of the road shoulder, <br />then it is free to the city, but may not be perceived as being as <br />safe as a detached trail. If a detached trail is constructed, it will <br />cost the city approximately $150,000 and an important issue <br />will be how to finance this improvement. There are a number of <br />issues that need to be reviewed and dealt with if a tunnel is to <br />be constructed as part of this project at the railroad trail <br />location. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />The city has recently purchased the Cass property and a large <br />part of this site is anticipated to be put into active recreation <br />fields. What type of fields, how the fields are to be financed, and <br />how fast the fields are to be developed needs to be reviewed and <br />agreed upon between the Commission and Council. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Typically at the joint meeting the City Council reviews and <br />approves the smaller miscellaneous park improvements that the <br />Commission recommends. These park improvements are in the <br />$25-30,000 range and affect a variety of parks throughout the <br />city and the money comes from the park dedication fund. <br /> <br />council:jntprmtg <br /> <br /> <br />
