Because of th.e woximity of this park to major thoroughfares, the population density and the <br />diversity of u~oafi wildlife, this park is ideally suited for a barrier free park experience. The park <br />will facilitate ~nt~raction between the able-bodied and the physically challenged. The Park and <br />RecreatiOn COtnfi~ission feels that this interaction is important for development of a socially <br />healthy, progr~ ssl~e community. ' <br /> <br />W~thout these ~2D, BG dollars, the other dlsab~hty sensmve ~mprovements leveraged by th~s project <br />could be in je~p~dy. The culvert is already installed, but the bituminous path (also eligible for <br />CD.GB fundS~, wjbUld have far less significance if not for the equal access shelter and play <br />eqmpment. <br /> <br />I am of the opir~ion that using CDBG funds to provide the equal access gathering location <br />improvement to tt~:s park would be the epitome of "community development". <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAM,$EY <br /> <br />Mark Boos ~ <br />Parks/Utilities C°~rrdinator <br /> <br />cc: Sylvia ~oi;ik, Zoning Administrator <br /> Ryan SChr,.d~xter, City Administrator <br /> Steve JankbWski, City Engineer <br /> <br /> <br />
