�i1�EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: October 16, 2012 Agenda Item: 5.D. <br /> TO: Parks Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager-00 <br /> SUBJECT: Freeway Park Improvement Discussion <br /> Background <br /> At the September 25, 2012 PTRC meeting, a motion was passed to table the off leash dog park <br /> discussions until March of 2013. Also, the committee asked that Freeway Park Improvements <br /> be moved up in priority and placed on an upcoming agenda. Staff has provided photos and an <br /> aerial of the current conditions on the top portion of the park (Attachment A). The aesthetic <br /> concerns about this park seem to come primarily from the hockey rink/warming house/parking <br /> lot areas. Staff placed a Freeway Park Improvement Project (Attachment B) into the proposed <br /> Capital Improvement Plan that is being reviewed by Council at their Monday, October 15 work <br /> session. Since the committee has not defined specific recommendations for park improvements <br /> at Freeway Park, staff did not provide specifics. However, if this project remains in the CIP, <br /> the committee will need to work on providing specific details in order to move forward to <br /> Council. Once specific details are determined, staff can put together a specific cost estimate for <br /> the committee to review. <br /> Requested Action <br /> Staff provided this information for the PTRC to begin preliminary discussions on possible <br /> improvements to Freeway Park in order to prepare a recommendation in 2013 for Council to <br /> consider. <br /> 10162012 Freeway Park Improvement Discussion.doc <br />
