He shared vehicular <br />movements in and out of Hillside Park and the projected city portion of the cost share of $1.2 million. The City <br />Council requested he present the updates at the May 13 Commission meeting. <br /> <br />The county considered Park and Recreation Commission safety concerns with speeds and traffic volumes for a <br />left turn out of the park. The county performed a roundabout analysis at Trott Brook Parkway, looked at and <br />added a modified curb to allow the U-turn maneuver at Trott Brook in lieu of the roundabout and added the <br />roundabout at Johnson Street. They added a dedicated right turn lane into the park which provides a safety <br />benefit by getting traffic out of the through lane. <br /> <br />The city was unable to secure money to continue the trail system on CSAH 12 to Cleveland. The cost is <br />estimated at $61,000. The county is offering to pay for the trail construction as part of this reconstruction <br />project. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The county presented April 20 to City Council the city’s cost share of $1.2 million. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Project Comment Cards <br /> CSAH 12 Improvements Map and Project Map
