Jim March explained that there may from $50k to $250k available for certain redevelopment or <br /> developments of parks. <br /> 3.Don't necessarily completely pave the Lamotte Park parking lot. <br /> Lamotte Park has a large parking lot. Here's an idea to consider: instead of paving the whole parking lot, <br /> consider using special "blocks" that allow grass to grow between them. For, say, one fourth to one <br /> half of the lot, use normal paving as grass could not take constant use. But, the lot appears to be sized <br /> for the biggest anticipated gathering, and for those occasions, parking on the "blocks" would probably <br /> work very well. This allows more area of the park to look green, and, in addition, would reduce hard <br /> surface runoff pollution for the nearby lake. <br /> 4.* *Landscaping. <br /> Jeff Gibbens pointed out that the Minnesota Department of Transportation, where he works, has programs <br /> to help communities with landscaping. There were several conditions. Although not directly in <br /> Centerville, the program might provide resources to help with landscaping that would better hide <br /> 35W from certain areas in Anoka Park and also the city of Centerville - people on Peltier lake, for <br /> example, are well aware of 35W. Conditions include a need for volunteers for planting, property <br /> adjacent to DOT property, an official request from local government, among others. These MnDOT <br /> programs offer an opportunity for funding that should be pursued. <br /> It was the feeling of the group that we should start with high expectations and only lower them if we have <br /> to. The timing of the Design Team suggestions, Anoka County Park plans and improvements, Lamotte <br /> Park plans, and other coincidental activities offer once in a community lifetime opportunities that should <br /> not be missed. Please help make these dreams come true. Current and future residents of Centerville will <br /> be thankful. <br /> Thanks to everyone participating in the most recent Trails, Parks, and Lakes meeting: <br /> Jeff Gibbens, Mary Kupher, Chuck Brenner, Shelly LaBarre, Robert Goldsmith, and Wayne LeBlanc <br /> And the meeting before that: <br /> Jenifer Kaczmarski„ Lori Dorn, Shelly LaBarre, Molly Nelson, Hatem Qanrhieh, Kalib Gallegos, <br /> and Wayne LeBlanc <br /> And the meeting before that: <br /> Erick Marshall, Rick Paulsen, Gary Barott, Shelly LaBarre, and Wayne LeBlanc <br />
