TRAIL (Cont'd) Herman Friesen, 3370 New Brighton Road, ~ressed concern <br /> for the safety of small children biking" in the area; <br /> stated the asphalt surface will attract motorcycles and snowmobiles.

He was of the opinion <br /> the trail inprovement will not be beneficial to Arden Hills. Pream also ~ressed <br /> his dissatisfaction that residents had very little input into the planning of the <br /> trail inprovement. <br /> Dennis Dee, 1880 Grant Road, ~ressed concern relative to the lack of notice to <br /> residents regarding" the irrprovement. He stated he is opposed to the trail and <br /> questioned future plans f= upgrading the path and surrounding area. <br /> Resident, 1895 Noble Road, advised all the neighbors have been mintaining" the <br /> path area by 1lKMing".

Poelzer stated safety is the min issue whether or not the bituminous surface is <br /> installed. <br /> Bruce Peterson, 1873 Grant Road, stated his opposition to the inprovement due to <br /> de=eased privacy, pedestrian traffic through his yard and safety concerns <br /> regarding" =ossing New Brighton Road. <br /> Jerry Gelao, 1911 Noble Road, agreed with all concerns ~ressed by the <br /> residents. He questioned the necessity for another inproved trail in Arden Hills, <br /> as there are numerous paved trails throughout the city.

There was no response. <br /> Mayor sather stated Council has heard and understands all concerns ~ressed by <br /> residents this evening". He explained that a contract has been awarded for the <br /> inprovement at the last Council meeting", however, it appears that some discussion <br /> of the inprovement is warranted at this time. <br /> . sather suggested two residents be appointed to work with the Park Director and <br /> City Engineer to discuss possible alternatives regarding" the trail inprovement, <br /> relating" to the shape, form or development of the pathway. He requested residents <br /> prioritize their concerns prior to scheduling" a meeting" between the two <br /> appointees and staff.
