Mr. Chmielewski recommended that section 3 explain the trail corridors and their connectivity to <br />other cities. He also reviewed some of the trail plans that would be incorporated into that <br />section, In section 4 they will identify what the different trail types are. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated that she wanted to make sure that they are using the proper terminology <br />when they are identifying the different trail types because the City does intend on using the <br />document for funding purposes. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood replied that staff is supporting the language that is being <br />recommended. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns inquired if there was "standard" terminology used in other communities when <br />identifying the different types of trails. <br /> <br />Mr. Chmielewski replied that the terminology really varies. He stated that biggest question is <br />who is the City drafting the document for. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns replied that one of the main reasons for drafting the document is to assist with <br />funding requests. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood replied that the other reason the Master Trail plan is being <br />completed is for the community. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated that she wants to be careful that the language isn't too simple if they <br />need to use the document for possible funding sources. <br /> <br />Mr. Ctunielewski replied that he will research if the language he is proposing will be a problem <br />with any of the possible funding sources. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shyrock recommended that Mr. Chmielewski research if the State of Minnesota <br />has a bicycle or trail plan adopted and if so make sure they use similar language included in that <br />document. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood noted that MnDOT does have a bicycle manual that they <br />could use as a reference. He also suggested that a glossary area be added to the back of the <br />document explaining what the terms mean and where those terms may have came from. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated that she likes the tone of the document, but she wants to make sure they <br />don't undermine themselves. <br /> <br />Mr. Chmielewski continued reviewing the different areas of the document. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated that one of the things they would like to do is have <br />each Commission member review the aerial photographs with the trail corridors and then forward <br />their comments to staff. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/December 4, 2003 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
