LITTLE CANADA <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DEPARTMENT <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 <br />www.ci.litde-canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />JIM MORELAN, Director <br />(651) 766 -4045 <br />DON BOWMAN, Program Coordinator <br />(651) 766 -4041 <br />DEREK ANDERSON, Program Coordinator <br />(651) 766 -4041 <br />BRAD VOLK, Maintenance Supervisor <br />(651) 766 -4056 <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of City Council <br />FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director <br />DATE: May 6, 2005 <br />RE: On- Street Trails /Posting of No Parking <br />As directed by the Council, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed the City <br />Administrator's recommendation relative to on- street parking regulations at their May 5i1' <br />meeting. In reviewing this matter, the Commission's position was to retain the parking <br />restrictions as currently posted. Citing concern for bicycle and pedestrian safety, the <br />Commission felt unanimously that the present signage would best protect those users in <br />the absence of an off - street trail in those locations. <br />The Commission also took the position that the trail designations of these streets shown <br />on the City's trail system context plan map should be deleted if the Council chooses to <br />allow on- street parking in the areas outlined to avoid any contradictive information to the <br />public. <br />Overall, I think the Commission sympathized with the requests and needs of the <br />neighbors, but felt their recommendation should be based on the needs and safety of the <br />non - motorized, recreational user. More detail of the Commission's discussion will <br />appear in their meeting minutes; however, the minutes are unavailable at this time. <br />
