Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 16, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />worked on for the west side of Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road to Highway 96. The <br />safe route to school from E2 to Lake Valentine Road to Mounds View High School is scheduled <br />for 2023. <br /> <br />Committee Member Anderson asked if the City was planning a ribbon cutting for the Old <br />Snelling trail. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Scott thought staff could arrange for one if PTRC suggested it. He also <br />mentioned the speed limit reduction to 25 mph that the City Council is implementing will apply to <br />Old Snelling. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the speed limit changes in the city. <br /> <br />Committee Member Anderson reiterated that people have reached out to her asking if the City <br />was going to hold a ribbon cutting for the trail. She would like the City Council to be aware that <br />there is talk about it. She had talked to Staff so the desire was known. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Scott said that usually staff arranged that type of thing and invited the Council to <br />attend. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher felt it would depend on how much demand there would be, and <br />others could also request it of City Staff. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated that Lexington Avenue is behind schedule and <br />work will not be done on the Arden Hills sidewalks for the foreseeable future. Park Shore trail is <br />paved, ADA ramps need to be put in and exercise equipment should be installed yet this year. The <br />Lake Johanna trail study will be discussed at the Council work session on September 19. Crack <br />sealing took place on trails around the city. <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin asked if the City maintains the wood chip trail along the creek off of <br />Venus Avenue to E2. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller replied yes, but with less frequency. <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin said a tree had come down over the trail. <br /> <br />B. PTRC Item Update <br /> <br />Council Liaison Scott said the Council had discussed the Hazelnut Park proposals. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher wondered if the rules on the sign on the tennis court at Floral Park <br />could be changed to be more flexible. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison clarified that one sign that says if there were people using the court and others <br />waiting, you switched at the new hour. For example, if you start playing at 6:55 and someone <br />shows up to play at 7:00 you have to leave. The other signs say if someone shows up you have 45- <br />60 minutes to finish your play. The difference in signs has caused issues. He had mentioned the <br />issue to the Public Works Director.
