You have set a standard for access to decision makers <br />that might well be emulated by other cities interested in fostering good govennnent. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />We in the soccer community realize that development of TCAAP lands can only proceed <br />apace with the economie, environmental, and social realities of such an undertaking. In <br />this process, the soccer community is hoping that there is a place for a soccer field <br />complex that makes efficacious use of ground that may be of dubious value for other <br />development when the ramifications of contaminated soils are taken into consideration. <br />In that vein I am suggesting that a visit to the kind offacility that soccer families find so <br />appealing might be in order. Two sites come to mind: the Coon Rapids Soccer Park and <br />the St. Louis Park soccer facility now under construction. <br /> <br />The St. Louis Park soccer facility is especially ihteresting as it is being bnilt on top of a <br />contaminated site and has met the standards for clean up required by various agencies <br />concerned with publie health. Cindy Walsh, St. Louis Park Parks and Recreation <br />Director; has said-that,she wou!d.\v.~lconJ.e avisi.t-.frorn those intc~csteJ;n ,3c,eing .\VhaI Cili'1. <br />be done with contaminated ground. She suggests sometime in September 2002 would be <br />a good time to visit the site as paved trails will be in place. <br /> <br />. <br />
