Using that process to <br />3 <br />guide us, the Renewal Program is continuing to progress. <br />4 <br />5 <br />The initial step leading to construction is to develop preliminary plans for all projects. With guidance <br />6 <br />from the System Master Plan, including the concepts and previous documents, we continue to gather final <br />7 <br />issues and ideas through a series of more detailed neighborhood/community workshops and meetings <br />8 <br />geared to specific parks/locations. From the preliminary plans, final construction plans and specifications <br />9 <br />will be prepared by a final design consultant and then sent out for actual construction proposals. Overall, <br />10 <br />we are on schedule to begin construction this fall and continue over the next couple of years. <br />11 <br />12 <br />Preliminary plans that are complete and have been through the review process by the neighborhoods, <br />13 <br />community and the Parks and Recreation Commission are as follows: <br />14 <br />Harriet Alexander Nature Center (work to continue in the collaboration with Friends of <br />15 <br />Harriet Alexander Nature Center and Friends of Roseville Parks) <br />16 <br />Lexington Park <br />17 <br />Villa Park <br />18 <br />Autumn Gove Park <br />19 <br />20 <br />The next sets of preliminary plans being developed are as follows: <br />21 <br />County Road B2/Victoria sidewalk project <br />22 <br />Central Park Victoria, East and West- ballfields/shelters/irrigation/playgrounds <br />23 <br />Materion Park <br />24 <br />Bruce Russell Park <br />25 <br />Howard Johnson Park <br />26 <br />Tamarack Park <br />27 <br />Skating Center <br />28 <br />29 <br />As a part of the Renewal Program, the following parkland acquisitions are anticipated: <br />30 <br />The former Mounds View School District offices property located at the corner of <br />31 <br />Hamline Avenue and Lydia Avenue and adjacent to Autumn Grove Park <br />32 <br />The former Press Gym site on Fry Street and adjacent to Rosebrook Park <br />33 <br />Search for opportunities in the southwest sector of Roseville <br />34 <br />35 <br />Page 1 of <br />2 <br /> <br />
