Tony Schmidt Park Greg Mack will be present at the September 26, 1995 meeting. The Committee needs to present a unified front and have an agenda ready to discuss. The Committee talked about opening up the area so that it would be easier to enforce. Members were interested in new playground equipment, possible ballfield, new shelter facility and general cleanup of the park. All members agreed that the main issue is to try and get Tony Schmidt to be number one (1) on Ramsey County's priority list. The Committee wants to ask Greg Mack how to get the project off the ground and show that the community is interested in the park. The idea of getting some community feedback was discussed. The Committee also discussed the issue if a local/county trail linkage. Trail Map Cindy questioned as to whether the small asphalt trail in the east side of Lake Johanna Boulevard was that of the homeowners or the County. Council Liaison, Susan Keim mentioned that the Cleveland Avenue Bridge was destroyed by arson. The Committee suggested that if it is rebuilt that it is reconstructed with a walkway. The Committee also recommended that we approach the County to run a bile trail through Tony Schmidt Park, that would connect to our existing trail. Also, discussed was the Old Highway 10/Round Lake area and the possibility of trails, if the gateway business is developed. Cindy mentioned that most cities along Highway 96 will have the trail along the south side, but that we need to remain flexible in light of TCAAP. The Highway 10 intersection will also be a discussion priority. The Committee also recommended that we set up a meeting with residents along the McClung trail. We also need to invite people who live along area streets, as well. County Road F has been set up so that in the future a trail could be added. Director, Cindy Walsh asked Committee members to be on the look out for places for future trails. The trail map will be discussed again at future meetings and ideas shared with the City Council. COUNCIL COMMENTS Susan Keim stated that County Road F is well under way. There have been a few drainage & sewage problems due to the rain, flooding, etc. The construction of Stowe Avenue is going well.
