Chair Flint felt the previou <br />meetings have indicated this objective. McMillan noted there should be a response to the letter. <br />Chair Flint was in favor of the five year time frame with modifications that a spccitic western <br />corridor is not designated. <br />MCsMUlan noted that the Orchard Park corridor looks closer to Baker Park than McCulley Ro?-l. <br />She secs this corridor as only connecting Baker Park to the Luce Line whereas the Old Crysta <br />Bav Road corridor is more of a "City traU" connecting the ball fields and schools. Any <br />coaidor west of Old Crystal Bay Road only serves Hennepin Park’s purpose to connect Baker <br />Park to the Luce Line. <br />White stated that although Hennepin Parks would get what they wanted, it would be the first nnk <br />to a trail in Orono. <br />Use noted that Hennepin Parks is also making a commitment to Orono because otherwise they <br />could spend their money in other 3xc*is.
