TASK FORCE RECOhMENDATIONS: The Parkway Task Force recommends that the following action be taken to begin implementing the development of a parkway system in Arden Hills: 1. The City Council should adopt, after Planning Commission review and recommendation, the proposed parkway routes and Community gateways (See Exhibit 1) as part of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City of Arden Hills should support Ramsey County's request to have Tony Schmidt Park designated as a regional park by the Metropolitan Council . Such designation would provide access to additional funding sources for park development and might speed the improvement of the streetscape of Lake Johanna Boulevard as it passes through Tony Schmidt Park. 3. If Tony Schmidt Park receives regional park designation, the City should work with the County Parks Department and Public Works' Department to pursue the development of a parkway proto- type on Lake Johanna Boulevard within the park area . 4. As segments of County Roads ire scheduled for improvement or reconstruction, the City should work with the Ramsey County Department of Public Works to develop roadway designs com- patable with the City' s parkway concept. 5. The City should encourage the private utility companies to bury overhead lines along designated parkway routes when roadway segments are reconstnicted or when such overhead lines require major repair or replacement. 6. The City should invite the participation of civic groups and private citizens in the development of designated Community gateways. The City should offer design and co-ordination services for any group which offers to provide materials , labor, or funds to accomplish gateway landscaping as a means of encouraging such participation. -18-
