Status of Rivers Bend Park Improvements <br /> <br />Mr. Boos briefly reviewed information pertaining to Rivers Bend Park. <br /> <br />· Status of Alpine Park <br /> <br />A traffic generation analysis for Alpine Park was completed which provides estimates of the future <br />traffic generated by the proposed Alpine Park. Upon conduction of analysis, it has been concluded <br />that Alpine Park will not provide traffic impacts beyond the design of the roadway system. Located <br />at the intersection of two major roads, it is also not expected to have any impact within nearby <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />· Critical Trail Link Projects <br /> <br />Mr. Boos briefly reviewed information pertaining to critical trail link projects. It was noted the area <br />originally designated with a pond will not be developed in the business park. <br /> <br />.

There are approximately 1,200 kids enrolled which breaks down to 300 for <br />soccer, 600-750 tee-ball, with the remainder playing softballlbaseball. There is a noted increase in <br />the younger aged programs. <br /> <br />Discussion/explanation ensued about the different types of youth athletic programs available in the <br />City. Some of these programs cause a scheduling overlap which unfortunately inhibits summer <br />participation for some youth. Commissioner Droegemueller clarified that schedules of programs for <br />the fifteen and sixteen year olds work in conjunction with each other. Mr. Boos noted the need for <br />written notification that schedules of some programs are conflicting with each other. <br /> <br />Commissioner Asfahl inquired about field use/availability issues for soccer teams. Commissioner <br />Droegemueller indicated questionable use regarding the scheduling of fields. Mr. Boos noted the <br />need to ensure field use/scheduling is done appropriately. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johns complimented Commissioner Droegemueller on restructuring of this year's <br />soccer program. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 8, 1997 <br />Page 5 of6 <br /> <br />V\f\5 <br />
