Ms. Susan Hoyt <br /> January 5, 1993 <br /> Page Two <br /> In other areas along the proposed pathway, overhanging branches will have to be <br /> trimmed to provide six feet of clearance over the pathway. <br /> Ms. Kriegler informed us that the park is scheduled for some renovations in <br /> 1993, so the pathway should fit into the proposed park renovation. As part of the <br /> park upgrade, a small unheated shelter would be installed. An idea was to use <br /> the structure as a bus stop and a shelter for the park. We are not certain that the <br /> i .4 1:01; r <br /> shelter can be placed so that it will serve both roles effectively. <br /> If <br /> o The proposed pathway along Coffman Street adjacent to the small park will <br /> require the removal of the trees and brush. Ms. Kriegler agrees that most of the <br /> trees and brush in this area are not in good condition and should be removed. <br /> We will contact Ms. Linda Treeful, the City Forester, to determine if there are <br /> any trees in this area that should be saved. <br /> Ms. Kriegler indicated that Mr. Vince Wright has a difficult time maintaining this <br /> area due to the brush and the steep slope. By removing the trees and brush in <br /> this area will allow the slope from the proposed pathway to be decreased. As <br /> directed by Ms. Kriegler, we have contacted Mr. Scott Midness of Barton <br /> Aschman to discuss the preliminary plan for the park that was completed a few <br /> years ago and any landscaping ideas for along the pathway. According to Mr. <br /> Midness, trees and bushes can be placed on the slope from the pathway to the <br /> park area. He is not sure what type but they can be planted after the pathway is <br /> constructed. <br /> Ms. Kriegler also suggested putting a ramp or pathway down the slope to the <br /> park from the proposed pathway along Coffman at the south end of the park. <br /> 3. We have measured the sidewalk in the Grove Area, including Hoyt Avenue and Folwell <br /> Avenue east of Coffman Street, and classified the condition of the sidewalk as good, fair, <br /> or poor: <br /> Good sidewalk is concrete that is relatively new and has no exposed aggregate. <br /> 10% of existing sidewalk is in good condition. <br /> Fair sidewalk is concrete that has exposed aggregate but no cracking. 27% of <br /> existing sidewalk is in fair condition. <br /> l <br /> Poor sidewalk is concrete that has cracks, heaved up around trees, or faulted with <br /> adjacent panels. 63 of existing sidewalk is in poor condition. <br /> i,1 r <br /> 028- 0505.jan <br />
