Long Lake Waters Association's mission is to help provide collaborative leadership in <br />improving and protecting the water quality of the Long Lake Creek Watershed. We <br />see the development of the East Long Lake Trail as a tremendous opportunity to work <br />together with the city and its partners, collaboratively, on this exciting project to help <br />build a great asset to the community. <br />29 Oct 18 Preliminary <br />Design concept, <br />5OCT18 <br />Thank you for accepting input on the renovation of East Long Lake Road. As a <br />nearby resident, I am thrilled at the prospect of new trails for hikers/bikers in such a <br />beautiful setting. <br /> <br />I hope that when redeveloping the road, you will consider the imperatives to focus on <br />the rural setting, the need to restore and support native habitat, and to improve water <br />quality. <br /> <br />I will echo the comments that I imagine others have shared to: <br /> <br />· use native plants and rain gardens to filter water runoff into the lake <br /> <br />· develop signs that educate trail users about the history and importance of the <br />area and its native habitat <br /> <br />· create facilities specific to humans, pets, and watercraft so disturbance to the <br />lakeshore is minimized, and waste does not negatively impact water quality. Perhaps <br />consider composting toilet facilities. <br /> <br />Additionally, I would encourage the city to involve Orono schools to use the trail for <br />field trips, and to publicize the benefits of the new trail to the students and their <br />families, as well as best practices for how we can improve and maintain the Lake as a <br />community. <br />Anne Marie <br />Grewal <br /> <br />1101 <br />Willowbrook <br />Dr. <br /> <br />323-580-3309 <br />
