Lino Lakes Public Services Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />• <br />August 23, 1999 <br />TO: Quail Ridge Residents <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Quail Ridge Boardwalk <br />Hello! <br />Due to safety concerns the city recently closed the boardwalk located near the Ruffed Grouse <br />Court cul -de -sac. <br />The city is exploring various options including renovating, replacing, removing, or closing the <br />boardwalk. <br />Renovating Boardwalk: <br />The rail system and numerous planks are in need of upgrading. Several support posts would <br />need to be adjusted. <br />Replacing Entire Boardwalk: <br />Simply renovating portions of the boardwalk may not be practical since other segments may <br />continue to fail. It may make more sense to replace the entire boardwalk using more current <br />standards, materials, and technology. <br />Removing Entire Boardwalk: <br />Currently this boardwalk segment does not serve a useful purpose. Certainly when Quail Ridge <br />Park is developed this boardwalk will serve a critical link to this future park. When the park is <br />developed, a new boardwalk system could be installed. <br />Closing the Boardwalk: <br />Currently the entrance to the boardwalk is barricaded. This option would require the least <br />amount of resources. When development of Quail Ridge Park occurs, we can more closely <br />analyze the condition of the boardwalk and determine whether the boardwalk system should be <br />upgraded or replaced. <br />If you have any thoughts regarding this issue please submit them by fax at 651 982 -2439. My <br />411 mailing address is 600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, MN 55014. I will notify you when <br />we determine the best course of action. <br />sw /rick/Quail Ridge Boardwalk.doc <br />
