Discussion: Mr. Riverblood asked the Commission to be <br />mindful this is expensive. Chair Bennett stated the intent of Strategy 4 is to capture signage and <br />things in a safe manner, calling out those components that are expensive, in a separate sub bullet. <br />The strategy is to look for cost effective ways to ensure the safety through signage and signals, so <br />we don't have to call out the specifics in which types. <br />6. Minimize at -grade crossing of trails and roads and other interactions between trail users and <br />automobiles, with underpasses or overpasses. Discussion: Mr. Riverblood stated this is a worthy <br />goal and worthy strategy but expensive. <br />Park and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood continued the discussion with c) A <br />variety of park facilities and programs that meet the life cycle needs of residents. <br />Chair Bennett felt this is important in this section because as part of the comprehensive planning <br />sessions and public engagement that is something many people talked about, parks for all, <br />amenities for all, programming for all. It is important to capture that language. <br />Strategies: <br />1. Work with the schools and community organization to plan for athletic fields and facilities that <br />will accommodate the growing community. Discussion: Mr. Riverblood said this makes a lot of <br />sense. <br />2. Explore options for a revenue source for recreational facilities and programming. Mr. <br />Riverblood agrees with this. <br />3. Study the need for a Community Center that offers a variety of recreation uses for all age <br />groups. Discussion: Mr. Riverblood agrees with this. <br />6.
