5 - YEAR GOALS - 1996 - 2000 <br /> TRAIL DEVELOPMENT - The addition of a Pedestrian Bridge linking <br /> north and south trails across Highway 10 in 1996 will be a great <br /> addition to the trail system. Other improvements include on- <br /> street striping and marking as well as other opportunities for <br /> off-street trails especially to be considered at times when roads <br /> are turned back as is the case with County Road H2 which is <br /> scheduled for turn-back in 1996. Another opportunity is the <br /> grant for finishing the Silver Lake Road off-street trail from <br /> County Road H to Highway 10. This project, if awarded would be <br /> slated for 1996. Trail development is an on-going project where <br /> grants-are available and Pa-rtia-l-fundinghopeful. There ore-it <br /> is <br /> recommended that the City continue to pursue grants for <br /> expansion to the trail system. <br /> WOODCREST PARK DEVELOPMENT - Woodcrest Park has been a very <br /> difficult park to develop because of its high water table and <br /> peat subsoils. However, rather than spend money on new parkland, <br /> it has been indicated that community members would rather see <br /> Woodcrest Park developed. Although Woodcrest Park has <br /> limitations on development potential due to its characteristics, <br /> some improvements can be made to expand the recreational use of <br /> the park. <br /> PLAY EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT - Play equipment has a longevity of <br /> approximately 15 years. There are play equipment in various <br /> parks which are nearing replacement stages. Random Park and <br /> Groveland Park play equipment structures are the first to require <br /> replacement. <br /> PARK BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS - Hillview and Groveland Park <br /> buildings have been improved for greater use and accessability. <br /> Lambert Park building improvements would include the installation <br /> of a unisex restroom. It has been experienced that the park <br /> building have greater community use and offers a more diverse use <br /> when indoor utility facilities are available. <br /> UPGRADING ATHLETIC FIELD FENCING FOR SAFETY - The City athletic <br /> field fencing needs to be heightened to comply with current <br /> standards in height for player safety. The new standards are <br /> 10 ' . At least four fields require heightened fences including <br /> City. Hall, Greenfield and both Silver View fields. <br /> CITY TREE TRIMMING PROGRAM - The City's tree trimming program for <br /> streets and boulevards took a back seat many years ago during <br /> budgeting sessions. Streets are in a condition where branches <br /> are hanging over and trucks and maintenance vehicles are rubbing <br /> over the branches. An additional allotment of one summer <br /> seasonal employee for Forestry services would suffice for the <br /> trimming of streets and boulevards. <br /> INTERACTIVE SYSTEM - This is a communication system where the <br />
