<br />redesign to address conflicts between pathways and golf areas as well as <br />addressing maintenance needs due to heavy use over the years. <br /> <br />nd <br />B-2 Sidewalk – staff held a 2 community meeting to share preliminary layout of the <br /> <br /> <br />sidewalk improvements. Comments have begun to shift toward more positive <br />reactions as designs have worked to address the needs and concerns of those living <br />close by. <br /> <br />Engineering is working on fine tuning the plan <br /> <br /> <br />o <br />Staff looks to bring the plan to Council in the fall. <br /> <br /> <br />o <br />Central Park Shelters: Foundation and FORParks – Michael Schroeder spoke on the <br /> <br /> <br />potential signature features from the existing shelters that could potentially be <br />salvaged to use on future shelter rebuilds – the arched trusses. This design concept <br />could perpetuate the iconic status of the current shelters and demonstrate <br />resourcefulness and sustainability through the reuse of materials. Shelter locations <br />will remain very similar to the current locations. Michael talked through possible <br />ideas for enhanced lighting with commissioners inquiring into sky lights and other <br />natural light options. <br />Central Park Lexington – the existing park Master Plan was used to direct current <br /> <br /> <br />preliminary designs. Jeff and Michael took into consideration park use – special <br />events, concerts, shelter rentals, league play as well as casual recreation experiences <br />while planning renewal projects at CP Lexington. Parking has been addressed with <br />some additional parking but more importantly better flow through the parking lot and <br />a parking entrance the better aligns with the Memorial. Also an extension of the <br />Lexington Avenue flower beds continues through the parking lot toward the park <br />entrance. The preliminary plan also shows potential sites for event lawns and a <br />promenade that will accommodate vendors along the lake walk. Like many of the <br />other parks, this plan contains additional elements that are not covered in the current <br />renewal program funding. <br /> <br />Mary Holt inquired into a listing of projects that may be funded by <br />o <br />community groups or local businesses. <br />Langton Lake Park – Park improvements focus mainly on playground replacements <br /> <br /> <br />near the ball fields and at County Rd C2. <br />Mapleview Park – The improvements at this park are focused on the playground. The <br /> <br /> <br />main add-on at this park for future consideration is a pathway that provides better <br />access to the playground. <br />Pocahontas Park – Park improvements at this park focus on turf improvement and <br /> <br /> <br />relocation of pathways to address safety concerns. There is also the thought that this <br />park may become the location for retro play equipment giving this location a special <br />identity in the Park System. <br />Dave Holt inquired into the theme approach to park updates identified in the master plan <br />and how the ideas help establish connections between the constellations and throughout <br />the park system plus the potential for parks to become destination locations because of <br />their themes. Michael and Jeff addressed how this continues to be considered and <br />incorporated into the renewal program especially through the playground replacement <br />program. <br /> <br />Natural Resource Approach Discussion – Evenson talked about the spread sheets <br />included in the Commission packet. This information was compiled by Paul the Stantec <br />lead for the natural resource management team. These spread sheets provide not only a <br />listing of the natural resource needs in Roseville but also suggestions for alternative <br /> <br />
