<br /> <br /> <br />5. Proposed Investment/Improvements <br />a. Trails: Lino Lakes residents have a great interest in the quantity and quality of our trail system. This <br />has been reaffirmed in surveys and most recently in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan preparation meetings <br />and activities. Therefore, the Park Board has a strong interest in maintaining and extending our trail <br />system. <br /> Priority for 2018 <br /> 1. Lake Drive Trail – Addition of a trail along the east side of Lake Drive between Marshan Lane and <br />Stagecoach Trail. This would be coordinated with an upcoming water main extension project. We <br />view this trail as a high priority due to safety factors and the significant number of potential users. <br />Estimated Cost = $75,000 <br /> 2. Apollo Drive Trail – Addition of a trail along the north side of Apollo Drive from Lake Drive to <br />Lilac Street. This trail will provide a much better and safer access to parks and commerce for a very <br />large number of residents in this northwestern portion of our community. Estimated Cost = $115,000. <br /> <br /> Still Under Consideration for 2018 <br /> 1. Lilac Street Trail – This would be an extension of the Apollo Trail (listed above) westward on <br />Lilac. Estimated Cost = $210,000. However, the Board is considering a plan to go as far as 4th <br />Avenue for 2018 and continue to Lilac in 2019. <br /> <br /> Best Held for 2019 <br /> 1. 12th Avenue – This is missing trail segment along the east side of 12th Avenue south of White Oak <br />Road. While under consideration, the high cost and limited users lowers the priority at this time. <br />Estimated Cost = $150,000 <br /> <br /> Also Considered and Discussed <br /> 1. Century Farms North Trail – A representative from Behm’s Century Farms has come to two park <br />Boark meetings requesting consideration of an internal trail within Century Farms North Park. While <br />this is still under consideration, it is currently a lower priority. Estimated Cost = $65,000 <br /> <br />b. Playground Equipment/Structures: Playground structures continue to a be a foundation of most of <br />our neighborhood and community parks. It is critical to start a systematic rehabilitation and replacement <br />plan for these facilities as they get considerable use, wear, and tear. <br /> <br /> Priority for 2018 <br /> 1. Sunrise Park – Replace existing playground equipment to meet increasing demand and use of this <br />location for organized and community activities. Until sufficient funding can be secured for the <br />Athletic Complex and/or Country Lakes Park we project expanded use, including community-wide <br />activities for this park such as the Annual Lino Lakes Corn Roast. Estimated Cost = $95,000 <br /> 2. Birch Park – Relocate and replace the playground equipment to meet current safety and <br />accessibility requirements for local residents and to serve broader use for organized community uses, <br />including summer playground activities. Estimated Cost = $90,000 [Note: The intent is to use <br />$60,000 from Saddle Club Park dedication fees and the balance of $30,000 from this funding <br />allocation.] <br /> <br /> Best Held for 2019
