MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1992 <br /> BIKE/HIKE TRAIL - CONT. <br /> Hust stated that during bus time , Old Crystal Bay Road is very <br /> congested and crossing on a bike would be very dangerous . <br /> Miiler noted they were not thinking of children riding their bikes <br /> to school on a daily basis , but rather using their bikes to get to <br /> extra curricular events . <br /> Hust asked if the stop light would be upgraded to include a button <br /> for pedestrians to push to change the light . <br /> Miller reviewed a concept of the Schools , that being that anyone <br /> on the trail system during busy school times would not be involved <br /> with traffic by being on the eastern side. <br /> Hust suggested providing a cross walk near the church property to <br /> cross to the school . <br /> A resident asked if there was a consideration of putting the trail <br /> behind the school . <br /> Milier noted that was considered but land acquisition was a problem <br /> near County Road 6 and the trail would have had to go back to Old <br /> Crystal Bay Road to cross over at the light on Highway 12 . <br /> Duke Hust , 820 Old Crystal Bay Road South , asked how this trail <br /> system fit into the Highway 12 corridor. <br /> Chair Flint noted that MnDot would have to provide a trail crossing <br /> as the trail will be in place prior to the upgrade of the highway . <br /> Paula Minnich , 340 Old Crystal Bay Road South , asked where parking <br /> would be provided to gain access to the trail . Parking is a problem <br /> now for those who access the trail at Old Crystal Bay Road. <br /> King noted that has been a continual problem. The DNR has not <br /> provided for parking near the Luce Line Trail . He noted they <br /> typicaliy provide parking for their lines , but felt they would not <br /> provide for parking with this proposal since it is intended for <br /> usage of Community residents and those who are already on the <br /> trail . <br /> Miller noted that this will not be a destination-type trail , but <br /> rather a connector between the Luce Line Trail and Baker Park, so <br /> therefore should not increase parking along Old Crystal Bay Road . <br /> Chair Flint stated that the Park Commission plans to provide <br /> parking at McCulley Road for the Luce Line Trail . <br /> 3 <br />
