Hopefully, <br />you can email this to the P&R committee and City Council as well as make copies for tonight's meeting in case <br />some folks aren't able to check their email before tonight's meeting. <br /> <br />tliddelLSpJ"ing Park <br />Damage to bituminous trail and parking lot. - Contractor is scheduled to repair damage next week. <br /> <br />Rain Garden plantings and compacted areas. - Gregg Thompson has reviewed our revised planting plan (see <br />attached planting plan from us and email response from Gregg). The Parks Board should give us their direction <br />as to what mix of plants to put in the rain garden. We are comfortable doing either our plan or modifying it to <br />add more of Gregg's suggestions. Once we get this direction, we will coordinate the plant replacements and <br />correction of the compacted area immediately. <br /> <br />Bowed bench. - The contractor will fix this item when he comes out to repair the blacktop and fountain. <br /> <br />Glider Bench Slats - I was finally able to make contact with the supplier. Apparently, he has had some email <br />problems and did not get our order confirmation (see attached email). We worked out the order over the phone <br />and the replacement slats should be shipped shortly. <br /> <br />Replacement plantings on the beach. - These will be completed at the same time as the rain garden plantings. <br /> <br />Drinking Fountain - The contractor is working with the public works department to resolve these issues. We <br />expect them to be corrected next week. <br /> <br />Overall. - I visited the park a few days ago and was impressed by the growth of the plantings along both streams <br />and on the upper part of the shoreline. Things are really filling in looking like a mature park. I'm hopeful that <br />once we get the replacement plantings in and the shoreline restored, you can once again, be proud of your park. <br /> <br />TraiLG_(aD~ <br />I've attached a summary of the results of our trail priority survey. We will be discussing these results among <br />staff and will develop a project outline based on these results for the Parks Board to review, perhaps at their next <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The mayor asked me to clear up some misconceptions about the Mill Road trail. I've attached some renderings <br />we completed several months ago. The following is an explanation of those options: <br />There were 4 options: <br /> <br />1. Trail Adjacent to Road with curb <br />2. Trail off road at edge of right-of-way with ditch between road and trail <br />3. Trail Adjacent to Road without curb <br />4. Trail off road, with curb and 5 foot grass boulevard and ditch on the east side of the trail <br /> <br />8/6/2008 <br />
