Floral Park Parking page 2 05/27/94 <br /> As expressed in the letter by Sarah Rhude, there are some valid safety <br /> concerns with parking in the neighborhxood. I met with Sarah, and I <br /> believe the safety concerns can be alleviated by designating parking <br /> on one side of the street only along park property. I recc d that <br /> the entire curb on the east side of Royal Lane be painted yellow and <br /> no parking signs be posted and enforced. This would extend the <br /> current no parking to cover the entire road frontage of the park. <br /> Also, no parking signs could be posted along the north side of Floral <br /> Drive- Thus, parking would be allowed on only i side of the street. <br /> This would provide a safer environment for children entering and <br /> leaving the park_ As it is now, parking is allor�d on both sides_ It <br /> is very difficult for cars to see children as they run through the <br /> parked cars. <br /> The Ramsey County Sheriff's Dint should be made aware of this <br /> Peng change and encouraged to enforce it. Utters can be sent to <br /> the Little Lakes Little League Association to notify parents and <br /> coaches of the Parking restrictions as sell as asking them to not walk <br /> across residents lawns- <br /> In <br /> awns.In future years, there is a possibility of maving little league one or <br /> two nights a wxeek to another field, however, another activity similar <br /> in nature would replace them on those evenings. Unfortunately, there <br /> are not enough basehall/softball fields in Arden Huls to allow that <br /> neighborhood parks be left unoccupied or as practice fields only. <br /> As for the reference Ms. Rhode makes to Island Lake, School fields <br /> being open, Shoreview program that facility_ I contacted them to <br /> inquire about usage and was informed that little league uses the east <br /> field and the Shoreview recreation programs use the west field. The <br /> Shoreview recreation softball program begins in June. Both fields <br /> will be in use every evening June through August. <br /> Staff recd mends that the above referenced no parking changes be made <br /> and enforced in an atteuPt to alleviate the safety concerns_ Little <br /> Lakes should be notified of these parking changes and encouraged to <br /> carpool_ <br /> CS:to <br />
