Park CIP Discussion - 03/16/09 schedule for the hard court surfaces. Floral Park tennis and basketball courts are tentatively scheduled for a resurface in 2012. Staff will evaluate the condition of the court before scheduling the improvement. 2013 Projects Snelling Avenue Regional Trail (Segment 1)($309,,000): This segment extends from Highway 51 to County Road E. This segment of the trail could be constructed with the PMP reconstruction, which is currently programmed for 2013. The pedestrian improvements to the west side of the CP Rail Bridge are proposed for 2010. Further discussions will need to take place to determine what side of the road segment 1 should go. The City could potentially look for federal funding to complete the entire corridor at that time. If the trail were constructed entirely on the west side, it is estimated to be an additional $1,975,149. If the trail is constructed on the east side at any point, costs would be dependent on where the crossing occurs. West Round Lake Trail ($120,,000): This is a proposed trail to link two sections of trail that exist behind the businesses along Round Lake. The missing trail is .46 mile or 2,421 feet. This gap in the trail system is due to the breakdown of negotiations between Nott Companies and the City on a potential easement. All other easements have been obtained. If the City Council is interested, staff could attempt to reopen negotiations. This trail also would help access issues in maintaining sanitary sewer in that area. Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. Staff will continue to follow the maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces. Royal Hills tennis and basketball courts are tentatively scheduled for a resurface in 2013. Staff will evaluate the condition of the court before scheduling the improvement. 2014 Projects Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. Staff will continue to follow the maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces. Johanna Marsh tennis court is tentatively scheduled for a resurface in 2014. Staff will evaluate the condition of the court before scheduling the improvement. Year Undetermined Projects: Hazelnut Outfield Fence (16,,500): This was originally in the 2009 CIP but was removed for consideration in a later year. This field is used by adult softball and youth softball and often balls are hit onto the trail in the outfield. It is a safety hazard for the pedestrian and for the ball player running for balls in the outfield. The estimate is for an 8 foot high outfield fence. Each spring, the City puts up a temporary green fence to keep balls from bouncing down into the woods/tall grasses. The neighbors may not be in favor of permanent fencing as they have voiced displeasure regarding the temporary fencing. Aesthetically, they would prefer that there be no fence at that location. City staff would prefer not to use Hazelnut Park for the adult leagues and 3
