Regarding <br />the 2007 goals, I strongly support the proposal regarding Lino Park and the new master <br />plan proposal. <br />Also, as I mentioned at the last meeting, I think that the Board needs to take steps to <br />develop the area reserved for the sports complex. I would encourage a goal to be set that <br />would include one meeting to strategize on how to develop a sports complex within the city <br />and groups that would be supportive of such a complex. I think-that our community has <br />strong youth sports organizations and with them good constituencies that could be used in <br />promoting a sports complex. <br />Regarding trail ideas, I had two additional thoughts. One thought would be a trail <br />segment on the south side of Birch from the Stoneybrook development to Centerville Road. <br />I think that this was proposed two years ago as a method of moving residents to a 4 -way <br />that would allow a safer crossing of Birch. <br />The other thought was planning regarding a trail segment extending from Birch toward Lake <br />Drive along Hodgson. From the master plans that I have seen, I think that this is <br />anticipated trail segment. This maybe something to consider now that the bridge has been <br />completed. (Obviously, I understand the budgeted $25,000.00 would not complete this <br />segment, but it might be a good start.) <br />ElAt any rate, those are some thoughts that I have. See you next year. <br />- -Aaron P. Frederickson <br />• <br />1 <br />
