June 19, 2008, - Public Open House Comments <br />The following comments were collected at the June 19, 2008, Comprehensive Plan Open <br />House. The comments are unedited. <br />■ Sitting benches on hill along crab trees in Lindy's Triangle Park. They were asked <br />for in 2001 and put in the park plan in 2002 and here it is 6 years later and we still <br />have nothing to sit on in this park. Will it be in my lifetime? <br />■ The baseball backstop was removed in 2001 in Lindy's Triangle. It was used, and <br />people nearby assumed it was to be replaced. Other than a handful of bocce ball <br />players and Bethel's rugby team's practice, it has turned more into a dog park. How <br />about something for the children? <br />■ A little walking/bike trail from behind the shops in "downtown" Arden Hills to the <br />trails north of Crepeau Park?? <br />■ 4.1 Active Living: Nice Principles. Healthy food restaurant in downtown Arden <br />Hills. <br />■ Access to park -n -rides with public transportation to get to downtowns. <br />■ The City needs to continue to help pay for annual goose round -up on Lake Johanna. <br />This used to be a much worse problem and could be bad again, if this isn't kept going <br />and funded properly. <br />■ It would also be nice to have housing for the down -sizing, able, independent, elderly, <br />since we like Arden Hills. E.g. — The Holiday Inn site — easy access to shops and <br />restaurants, and would help "greater downtown Arden Hills" shopping center (Lex. <br />and Cty. Rd E) to survive and maybe even the restaurant(s). <br />■ It looks like AH could use more housing for the workers, to help with convenience, a <br />shorter commute, and savings in fuel. <br />■ Downtown street lighting looks too retro. Lights similar to New Brighton's would be <br />an improvement. This may prove to improve the wild night life we used to so enjoy <br />in downtown Arden Hills. <br />■ People using bus system and picked up at Pine Tree and County Road E, need a <br />shelter for rainy and cold days. Could the City request one from MTC and/or help <br />pay for one? <br />■ Public Works needs to not put grass clippings in the street when they mow. I. e. — <br />Johanna Blvd. and Siems Ct. intersection. <br />
