Attachment 8: Public Services Director/Park Board Memo dated February 6, 2025 <br />C IT F <br />LIN01KES <br />DATE: February 6, 2025 <br />TO: Katie Larsen, City Planner <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />RE: Burque Estates - Park Dedication Discussion <br />The Park Boards primary discussion last night revolved around extending the existing trail along <br />Chestnut Street westward to eventually provide pedestrian access to Tower Park, located at Birch <br />Street and Centerville Road. There are two options to explore: <br />Install a boardwalk/trail along the northern boundary of the development from 20t" Avenue <br />South to Chestnut Street. The existing future Cyprus Street ROW, along with an 850' <br />boardwalk would extend direct access from the existing trail on Chestnut Street to the Birch <br />Street and 20t" Avenue South intersection. The future trail project of extending the trail <br />along westward along the south side of Birch Street will complete the connection to Tower <br />Pa rk. <br />2. Extend the paved trail southward along the east side of Chestnut Street from the <br />Northpointe Development, then cross Chestnut Street and continue the trail along the <br />wetland buffer. I included an attachment illustrating this. <br />I think both options merit further investigation and discussion. There are significant pros and cons <br />for each option! <br />
