MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 7,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Brenda Johnson stated she also was wondering why the Park Commission is having this discussion since <br /> they have already agreed to the study. Johnson stated North Arm Drive is a very dangerous road and that <br /> there are a lot of people that live within a mile of the Lakeville Legacy Park. Johnson stated in her view <br /> the trail will be heavily used and will get people off the road. Johnson stated spending the$3,000 is well <br /> worth it. <br /> Johnson asked if they could perhaps look at putting the trail on the other side of the road. <br /> Meyers noted the trail would go on the south side of the road <br /> Ruegemer stated the money would be well spent. Ruegemer stated the trail provides the perfect segue to <br /> get people to the park and would benefit a lot of people. <br /> Levang asked how long the feasibility study would be good for in the event the City chooses not to <br /> construct the trail in the immediate future. <br /> Edwards indicated this particular study would be good until conditions change and that the prices could <br /> be adjusted in the future if necessary. <br /> Levang suggested the options include asphalt or gravel. <br /> Edwards stated once the Park Commission and City Council are fine with the study,he would provide <br /> Bolton&Menk with some guidelines, such as looking at a footpath as one option. <br /> Levang noted the study would not make a recommendation on whether the trail should be built but simply <br /> whether a trail is possible in this area. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> 6.
