2000 Central, Alpine and River's Bend parks were suggested as parks possibly targeted for <br /> Community Park Improvement dollars. <br /> <br />2001 <br /> <br />Suggestions included: <br />Tennis courts at Rabbit Park <br />Basketball courts <br />Trails <br />Paving hockey rinks (suggested by Commissioner Cook) <br /> <br />Commissioner Asfahl expressed concern over the increase in traffic and speed limits on 142nd <br />Ave. for people accessing Emerald Pond Park. She will canvas neighbors to see if they support a <br />boulevard path. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder had some suggestions regarding C.I.P. as follows: <br /> <br />Sunfish Lake may have more monies available allowing for Emerald Pond Phase II expansion and <br />trails along 142nd Ave., etc., a boardwalk at Hunter's Hill, and possible landscaping/open space <br />improvements near the comer of Sunfish and County Rd. #116. <br /> <br />The City of Anoka is seeking monies from cities whose residents use their swimming pool. <br />Consensus of the Commission was that users pay the higher fees instead of every resident paying. <br /> <br />School District #11 will replace one of the hockey rinks at Ramsey Elementary. Consensus was <br />that money should be set aside to replace the other rink with interest earnings from the Park Trust <br />Funds possibly this fall with, 1996 dollars being paid to the district in 96. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder suggested an ad be placed in the Ramsey Resident when discussions begin <br />regarding Alpine Park so the public can get involved. <br /> <br />The city is working with RYAA regarding improvements to Central Park. Included are trails to <br />Central, expanded parking to the east, updating the concession stand, field lighting, and acquisition <br />of additional property. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder indicated that other commissions were reviewing the Trunk Highway #47 <br />transportation/safety issues. The Commission was in agreement that joint meetings with these <br />commissions would be a good idea.The primary focus would be transportational trails and <br />boulevard trees. <br /> <br />AEC Energy Park will need improvements possibly in 1996, most probably in 1997. <br /> <br />The Commission should consider improvements to 153rd/Sunwood Drive ie: trees, etc. <br /> <br />Completion of ends of Lake Itasca Trail. <br /> <br />On-going maintenance of trails. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos indicated he would like automatic tracking of life spans of various <br />projects such as bituminous trails. Commissioner Cook gave him a number to call to access the <br />information. Mr. Schroeder said periodic maintenance could be added to the street maintenance <br />program. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding possible acquisition of park land off Trunk Highway #47. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/June 8, 1995 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
