Open Mike <br /> Ashley Swenson – (See attached PowerPoint Presentation) Ms. Swenson addressed the <br />park board regarding accessibility issues to Birch and Brandywood parks. Main concerns <br />being that there is no shoulder or trail at 12th street which leaves many families in her <br />neighborhood cut off from Brandywood Park or they have to brave the busy traffic and <br />unsafe road conditions to walk/bike to the park. She is concerned that kids are on the road <br />trying to get to the park and could get seriously injured. Many people in the <br />neighborhood like to bike and enjoying visiting the park however, not having a safe bike <br />path/trail there hinders most of them from wanting to go. <br /> <br />The other concern was the access to Birch Park. There is a steep set of stairs that leads to <br />the board walk that connects you to the park. She states that the stairs are hazardous and <br />hard to maneuver for those with strollers, wheelchairs, etc. States her son has a disability
