Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 0. • • November 27, 2002 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Project Updates Clearwater Creek Park The weather cooperated enough to allow a netavator to be used to till the peat with a couple inches of subsurface clay. The remaining earthwork will need to be done next spring. Highland Meadows Park The development of Highland Meadows Park has progressed pretty well. Staff has issues with the quality of the asphalt trails. We met with the general contractor and subcontractor to express our concerns. It was agreed that several areas will be redone next spring. Staff is very disappointed with the quality of the bituminous work and will be hesitant on using this particular subcontractor on any future work. All landscaping except the landscape bed adjacent to the playground area and the Oak Trees have been installed. The irrigation system has also been installed. Bid openings for the playground equipment proposals will be on December 2, 2002. The Park Board is welcome to review the proposal after the December 2 Park Board Meeting. The playground equipment proposals will be on display for residents the week of December 9. Timberwolf Trail This trail has been completed. There is still some restoration and cleanup work which will be done next spring. This trail turned out very well and will generate a lot of use. Birch Park Trail This trail is nearing completion. The timber staircase has been completed as well as the pier shafts have been installed. The remaining deck work should be completed by mid- December. Park Maintenance Staff will install the plant material for the timber staircase next spring. sw /parkbrd/meeting info /12 -2 -02 Project Updats.doc
