LIBRARY CONNECTION <br />The City will pursue an access to the library from the park pond pathway considering <br />the feasibility, cost and easement agreement opportunities. <br />PARK PATHWAYS <br />The issue of the pathway around the pond was discussed and resolved with <br />unanimous agreement that the path should continue around the entire pond. It was <br />also agreed that the path around the pond should remain a woodchip material to <br />comply with the nature concept. Furthermore, it is the group's recommendation that <br />the woodchip path be completed as soon as possible. <br />The issue of the pathway around the pond was discussed and resolved with <br />unanimous agreement that the path should continue around the entire pond. It was <br />also agreed that the path around the pond should remain a woodchip material to <br />comply with the nature concept. Furthermore, it is the group's recommendation that <br />the pathway be completed as soon as possible. The path will require narrowing at <br />the easement access by the Janis property. At the time the pathway is completed, <br />landscaping will be planned to designate public versus private land. <br />A hard surface pathway is designated for the active area of the park. This path will <br />connect the activity areas. The hard surface will enable bikes, skateboard, rollerblade, <br />wheelchairs and stroller use. <br />Of lesser priority, was a bridge for future installation. It is suggested that the bridge <br />be a simple pedestrian bridge rather than a bridge accommodating maintenance <br />vehicles, because with installation of the culvert, maintenance staff will have a <br />vehicular passageway on the path. The group's opinion is that two vehicular <br />passageways are not needed. The cost of the bridge would then decrease. This <br />recommendation is contingent on the installation of the culvert. <br />PLACEMENT OF AMENITIES <br />This master plan is general in nature to allow for flexibility in an ever-changing <br />world. Specific direction such as placement of park amenities is not given but instead <br />suggests that the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council will determine <br />such placement. <br />3 <br />
