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 tine 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.
