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