WS – Item 4 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item 4 Date: June 3, 2019 To: City Council From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director Re: Blue Heron Days Parade Update Update LLPSD Staff has been in communication with Lino Lakes Target Management. This proposal has been reviewed by the Target real estate management team who did not approve of a trail being established in that location, citing safety concerns for pedestrians and bicyclists due to the proximity of the trail to the loading docks. Staff replied to Target’s real estate team asking if they’d consider the trail if it was closed by a full-obstruction gate to prevent pedestrian and bicyclist traffic, but allow Police staff to utilize the trail, as proposed, for the parade each year. Target’s Sr. Real estate manager said they’d consider that proposal, but requested to see pictures of a few gate options that they could review and choose from, information about curb-cut, dimensions of the trail, information on when the work would be done, and additional information on the specific timeframe the gate would be open and staffed each year. LLPSD staff has requested assistance in answering Target real estate team’s specific questions from Lino Lakes streets department supervisor and City Engineer. In addition to getting answers to the Target team’s questions, streets dept. supervisor is getting a bid for the work which will later be presented to Council for review. Staff is aware that the modification to the original proposal offered to Target has not yet been reviewed or approved by Council and staff has not committed to this new proposal with Target in any way, rather, offered it as a possible option, pending Council approval. LLPSD staff expects the bid(s) and answers to Target team’s questions by mid-June, 2019. Attachments March 4, 2019 W.S. Item 4, Blue Heron Days Parade
