11. When the City is fully developed and playgrounds should be equally distributed throughout the community. Recreational facilities should be developed to accommodate those already populated areas of the City. Future acquisition and development will logically follow planned development. 12. No person should cross a major transportation route to gain access to the park, unless the route is properly controlled. 13. Develop a Park and Open Space System that meets the seasonal recreational needs of all age groups. 14. Since Ramsey is part of the metro area, its residents are not confined to the corporate limits of the City and therefore should take advantage of district and regional recreational facilities. Likewise it can be assumed that some local facilities will be used by nonresidents. 15. To a practical extent, the Planning and Zoning Commission should adhere to the policies of land acquisition, parks and open spaces and trailways (greenbelts, waterways, bike trails, hiking trails, ski trails, snowmobile trails, walkways, etc.) as recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission. 16. All Parks and Open Space areas should be comprehensively designed with appropriate high quality amenities, boundary marker /buffers and be made easily identifiable and accessible. 17. The City should accept the park lands as a major part of the City's service infrastructure. In line with this an adequate main- tenance budget and program budget should be allocated from the general funds. 18. In addition to tax supported budgets, the Park Commission should institute an aggressive program to encourage corporate and public contributions along with project oriented commitments from the various service organizations.
