<br />--- -- ---------- -------- <br /> I <br />Clearinl$ snow from the trails <br />The Park Maintenance staff had an opportunity to test out the skid steer and snow blower on the <br />trails last week after the streets where plowed. They had some difficulty with a couple of hill <br />areas, I had anticipated problems given the steep slopes that exist in Arden Hills, We were able . <br />to clear the areas with the help of the our Toro. The Toro will not be able to handle large <br />amounts of snow, so there may be areas that bccome too difficult to clear. The Hamline Avenue <br />sidewalk is one example of such an area, The sidewalk is only 4 feet wide and the skid steer is 6 I <br />fect wide. We can use the T oro now when the snow is not piled up from the plows along the <br />street; however, it will be increasingly difficult later on in the winter, We will do the best we <br />can, I <br />When skating rink season begins, the park maintenance staff will clear the rinks first since their <br />are programs and hockey practices scheduled each night. The trails will be cleared as soon as I <br />time allows. The maintenance staff also help to plow the streets during heavy snow falls or when <br />public works staff are absent. <br />Healthv Youth Coalition I <br />Tracy Petersen continues to attend the meetings of the coalition.
