Pheasant Marsh Trail <br /> <br />There is some concern that the trail between Hunters Cro~sing and Pheasant Marsh <br />does not line up. COlmcil Member Broussard-Vickers said this problem was <br />discussed months ago and was supposed to be corrected. Mr. Peterson will check <br />on this and talk to Dan Schluender of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik .~ Associates <br />regarding watershed, grading, and COWlty permission to fill in the culvert. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />I. Parks & Recreation Committee Function <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard-Vickers asked the committee how they viewed their <br />function in the future, suggesting it will be more of a maintenance issued opposed <br />to new. There is ~ture potential with Pheasant Marsh, The Shores, and ultimately <br />South Hunters Crossing. Fwd raising was discussed as a possible Parks & <br />Recreation function. Mr. Walters suggested looking at concessions at Laurie <br />LaMotte Park when games are going on. and perhaps involving groups such as the <br />Boy Scouts. This will be put on the next agenda. <br /> <br />2. The Shores Trail <br /> <br />Lengthy discussion as to the placement of 'The Shores' trail. The concern is if the <br />trail is put along County Road 14 so it can link with the regional park, what will <br />happen when County Road 14 is widened? Council Member Broussard-Vickers <br />reports Anoka County has applied for ftmding and eventually County Road 14 will <br />be turned into a 4-lane road, possibly between 2006-2010. Some options were <br />discussed in lieu of the traill1mning along County Road '14, possibly collecting the <br />funds and expand the trail elsewhere. However, the object has been to safely get <br />pedestrianslbikers along County Road 14 to the Regional Park. Mr. Walters <br />suggested we could perhaps get 10 good y~ars out of the trail before the road is <br />widened and would Anoka County replace the trail if it were to be removed due to <br />an expansion? Ms. DeVine read a letter dated November 5,2001 from the Anoka <br />County Department of Parks and Recreation in regards to a possible cooperative <br />_effort between the City ofCenterville and Anoka County, though it appears that <br />funding for trails within the regional park reserve will not be available for about 3- <br />4 years. The Park Planner, Ron Cox, would like to be kept informed of the City's <br />progress in regards to 'The Shores' trail. Possible option is to run the trail down <br />Mound Trail, some research needs to be done to determin~ if Anoka COtmty owns <br /> <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
