2000 23. 24. 25, 2001 26. 27. The Riverdale Drive On-road B Trail is addressed in the year 2000 as an estimate of the 1Lrne when Riverdale Drive and commercial/residential development may exist in larger numbers to the west and east of Feldspar Street. Density and traffic are sure to warrant that pedestrians have a safe east/west route south of Highway #10. In addition, connection to the City of Anoka's Cutter's Grove Park may be possible off from Rivlyn Avenue. The segment east of Dolomite will need to serve as the Mississippi River traiI, and thus may be eligible for funding assistance (see item #17). Boulevard trees for Riverdale are proposed as a TIF project and is directly related to the premise described above. In today's dollars, a $10,000 expenditure would fund about 50 trees. Community Park and Trail Improvements could involve Alpine, Central, Lake Itasca, or River's Bend Park. Emphasis (depending on mm of the century priorities) may be for the first stage development on the Trott Brook Trail system or acquisitions. An $80,000 expenditure is proposed from the Landfill Trust Fund. $80,000 in Landfill Trust Funds should be directed to community park needs this year as well. Alpine Park or Central Park will be the likely recipient. For some time, the Commission's Park & Trail Plan has shown a community park north of I60th Lane in the Oak Park District. More analysis will be conducted. The above funds could be used for park acquisition/development in this area, if it is deemed a priority. Projected about the year 2001 would be residential development west of Ramsey Boulevard. The neighborhood park include a connection to a trail along Puma Street to the Lake Itasca recreation system would also be a tremendous resource to urban dwellers, as well as stretching the estimated $75,000 Park Trust Fund budget.
