MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />May 4, 2006 <br />)MP. PLAN Sanders stated that drawings have been completed on the Walter Street Trail Connection. This <br />REVIEW project is almost ready to be bid. He reviewed the plans with the Commission and stated that <br />150 feet of the project belongs to Little Canada and 95 feet was located in Maplewood. He <br />indicated that he plans to complete the bid with Maplewood as one project. <br />The Director stated that there are existing funds in the budget for this project, but due to the <br />boardwalk, the city may have to commit extra funds.
