Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – April 15, 2025 Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said TCAAP is not included in the scope of this Park Master Plan. <br />That will come in as a whole different project. <br /> <br />Bryce Shearen said the Master Plan will include some general information acknowledging that <br />development but that will be separate from this process. <br /> <br /> <br />4. REPORT <br /> <br />A. Council Liaison Update <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau shared a project from the Chippewa Middle School students called <br />Letter to a Legislator. The letter to her stated that Cummings Park needs to be remodeled to make <br />it fun for all ages, instead of ages under 7. The letter said they used to love to go to that park and <br />use the playground equipment. A remodel made it more child friendly and completely took out the <br />fun of the playground for older kids. They are requesting that the City Council budget accordingly <br />to remodel and rebuild it to make the playground fun for all ages. She thought there could be a <br />ninja course or something geared toward older kids. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said she received information from a resident that on Tuesday, May <br />30th from 1:30-3:30pm at Johannah Shores they are hosting its first inaugural Community Affair. <br />The resident recommended that PTRC consider hosting a booth. It’s free and may be an <br />opportunity to recruit for Adopt-A-Spot. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said Touch A Truck is on the same day as Island Lake Elementary <br />School’s Carnival. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau thanked the new members for joining the committee. She also thanked <br />Committee Member Jacobson who just joined the Planning Commission, as well, while still <br />serving on the PTRC. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said the Council approved a resolution supporting Mow Less May. <br />The Committee and Commission Code of Conduct was approved, as well. She updated that <br />Ramsey County approved a sales agreement with Ryan Companies to purchase the 40-acre Outlot <br />A in Rice Creek Commons. They are anticipating a 157,000 sq.ft. advanced technology project for <br />ten of the acres. <br /> <br />5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said there hasn’t been much change since <br />the last meeting. He updated that Arden Hills is coordinating with the City of Roseville and <br />Ramsey County to install a trail on Hamline Avenue at the southern border of the City. There is a <br />segment of trail that would connect our existing trail on Hamline Avenue that extends to Lake <br />Josephine Road in Roseville. There is just a short segment of trail.
