7. Design trails with a variety of surface appropriate for different uses. Discussion: Mr. <br />Riverblood stated this is not useful to have listed under a strategy because it does not really <br />address much. The Commission agreed with this as well. Strike this. <br />8. Seek out alliance and partnerships with non-profit and governmental agencies to assist in <br />securing funding and other resources that will assist in implementing the park and trail plan. <br />Update — Rec programming. Discussion: Chair Bennett said he would like the language included <br />for recreation programming because that is what we have been hearing from the community. <br />9. Improve quality of existing parks, through careful planning, continued maintenance and <br />adequate funding. Discussion: This works well. <br />10. Explore options for an additional community park. Discussion: This one is good. <br />11. Where appropriate, consolidate existing parks to improve quality and provide more efficient <br />service. Discussion: Mr. Riverblood would like to strike this. Chair Bennett agreed and stated <br />opportunities are going to be few and far in between and the use and the mix we have right now <br />is pretty good. <br />Mr. Riverblood stated this review of the strategies is a good example of how we want to clean <br />this language up for clarity. <br />Chair Bennett wanted to continue with the review of the Strategies listed under b) A system of <br />safe parks and trails to see they fit the purpose and intent of the system of safe parks and trails. <br />Strategies: <br />1. Locate trails where appropriate in greenway corridors and natural areas. Discussion: Mr. <br />Riverblood stated this might not fall under the category of safety related; this can be more <br />descriptive. Chair Bennett stated unless the thought process was on roadway options. The 2030 <br />plan had some specific language in it around the width of trails and this may be where this is <br />playing in a little bit. <br />2. Promote Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design CPTED: Mr. Riverblood felt we <br />naturally already try to do that and recommended to leave this as is. <br />3. Where appropriate, use existing power/utility easements for the trail system. Discussion: Mr. <br />Riverblood stated this is fine and recommended to leave this as is. <br />4. Provide adequate signage and pavement marking to warn automobile traffic of park and trail <br />traffic. Discussion: Chair Bennett feels this language is pretty close to a good strategy. Mr. <br />Riverblood recommended a standalone one to address shared streets. <br />Park and Recreation Commission/October 12, 2017 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
