CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING M DNDAY, MARCH 6, 1995 restrooms, signage, and what transfer points are. Sharon asked if all parks have to be accessible to everyone or only 2-3 parks. Marty said because the city does not have the money to do all parks maybe we should do only 1-2 high usage parks first. He thought the ADA Committee should look at this and place priorities.
