Capital Improvement Program 2016 thru 2020 City of Ramsey, Minnesota Project# 04-PARK-003 Project Name Elmcrest Park& The Draw Park Entrance & Signage Type Improvement Department Park Improvements Useful Life 20 Years Contact Unassigned Category Park Improvement Priority 2-New Addition(High) v 4 Status Active Description Total Project Cost: $80,000 Entrance signing for Elmcrest Park would consist of a sign and associated landscape sited near the intersection of Quicksilver Street and 167th Avenue. This project may also be evaluated to be timed with either the area's development(167th node or vacant land)or street construction/reconstruction. For the Draw,the sign would function as a monument for the park name and also as a location to advertise upcoming events. Justification The 100+acre community park may warrant an attractive entrance monument benefitting the park's prominance in the community. Additionally, there will be continuing events where many hundreds of out-of-Ramsey visitors will come to the city. The monument will function as a way- finding sign and also to remind visiitors that they are in Ramsey. For the Draw,the monument would describe for the community the name of the park and amphitheater(a minor issue presently). Plus,if the advertising space was digital(versus posters),there could be a modest revenue stream from non-municipal sources. Note: The planning for this project in the COR may resume after completion of the Design Framework relating to signs.
