Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – September 17, 2024 Page 12 <br /> <br />Committee Members decided to change Pickleball nets to Pickleball courts so they can discuss <br />where tennis to pickleball conversions may be made and to add Freeway Park to the priorities <br />list. <br /> <br />Committee Member Nelson said he thinks it’s important to define what the next trail project <br />should be. He said we are waiting for 2026 and 2028 for the two big ones. Doing nothing <br />between now and then seems silly. <br /> <br />Committee Member Dietz agrees. PTRC should be identifying possible future trails. <br /> <br />Committee Member Nelson said there is so much time and planning involved in those projects. <br />He suggests a resident survey that looks at the purple lines on the current trail map, that identify <br />future trails. Ask residents which ones they want to see prioritized. <br /> <br />Committee Member Rogers said there have been requests for a map of only the existing trails. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Olson said she saw New Brighton received Safe Routes to School money. She asked <br />Staff how to get that money. <br /> <br />Committee Member Dietz wanted to add continue working with Great River Greening to the <br />list. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Olson said she will work with Chair Anderson to rework the list, as discussed, for <br />the October meeting. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson noted that the Hazelnut Parking lot is a project that must be <br />done. It is a legal taking of land. It can remain on the list if the Committee Members think it <br />should be there. But there is nothing for the committee to do. <br /> <br /> <br />6. NEXT MEETING <br />A. Tuesday, October 15, 2024 <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />MOTION: Vice Chair Olson moved and Committee Member Dietz seconded a motion to <br />adjourn the meeting. The motion carried (9-0). <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:46 p.m.
