Neighborhoods Parks A successful bond referendum will provide significant dollars to develop new parks and enhance existing parks. Thirteen existing neighborhood parks will be enhanced with various amenities and three undeveloped parks will be completely developed per the approved master plans. I have attached an itemized list of the planned neighborhood park improvements. Meetings are scheduled the week of April 8th for residents who have a particular neighborhood park of interest to review and comment on the proposed improvements. Construction of Trails The third component of the bond referendum is establishing additional trails throughout the city. The purpose of the trail system is to provide functional pedestrian and bicycle linkages throughout the parks system. I have attached the proposed trails included in the referendum. How to Obtain More Information In addition to the neighborhood park meetings the week of April 8th, the "Referendum 2002" Committee is working on various ways for the residents of Lino Lakes to obtain specific information related to this important bond referendum including: Video Presentation - The video presentation provides information on the history of the referendum, specific content of the referendum, and additional information such as commonly asked questions, tax impacts, etc. The video presentation will be run on Local Cable Channel 16, and at various community meetings.
