ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — September 9, 2019 3 <br />potentially use ICWC workers when applicable. County participation for the crosswalk would be <br />in 2020. <br />Councilmember Scott noted that it's not the number of pedestrians at the crosswalks, it's the <br />amount of traffic on Hamline. <br />Councilmember McClung stated he would like to see flashing lights at minimum at the park <br />connection. He asked if the City can obtain a flashing light at just one location, would Council <br />agree to place it at the park crossing on Floral versus Wyncrest? <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said Ramsey County seems to be <br />receptive to the concerns of the Council. He indicated he would reach out to Ramsey County <br />regarding the Council's desire for a flashing light at the southern crossing due to traffic speeds to <br />see if they would reconsider. <br />Councilmember Scott asked about the practicality of approaching Boston Scientific to help with <br />the cost of the flashing lights since it would benefit their employees. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom responded that City staff will <br />discuss this possibility with Boston Scientific staff. <br />Mayor Grant noted agreement of the Council for the plan but requested staff reach out to <br />Ramsey County regarding installation of one set of flashing lights, regardless of who pays for <br />them. <br />B. Perry Park — Dog Park Improvements <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained the dog park location is at <br />Perry Park, south of County Road E2 on New Brighton Road. There are three active athletic fields <br />there and a former baseball diamond was converted to a dog park in 2016. There have been <br />concerns about the condition of the field and what work could be done to improve the dog park. <br />Recreation Coordinator Knoll said due to the drainage issues and the field being unplayable, the <br />Shoreview Youth Baseball Association decided to stop using the field. The PTRC proposed to <br />change the field to a dog park in 2016. At the annual Bark and Rec day residents were asked what <br />improvements they would like to see. The number one improvement requested was shade for the <br />dogs and owners. Thirty-five residents completed the survey and about half of them requested <br />shade. The second most requested item was to fix drainage issues. She said there are two <br />drainage issues, one being on the infield and the other in the outfield by the fence line. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained the low spot in the infield <br />could be filled and the area in right field needs some type of swale to improve the drainage to <br />allow it to drain into the wetland. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said staff had compiled three <br />options that could be changed, modified, expanded or merged together. Option 1 was a low-cost <br />option; to remove the aggregate, topsoil and seed placement, and plant ten trees. Option 2 is <br />similar but to remove the backstop fencing and tall fencing along the first base line and replace it <br />
