• <br /> • r1r MO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br /> FROM: I.IARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> MATE: OC'l'013ER 12 , 1987 <br /> RE: BRINGING WALKWAYS TO MOUNDS VIEW <br /> I:t may be a pipedream, but then again, maybe not. The City of <br /> Mounds View is a perfect candidate for a city-wide walkway system. <br /> It is a small city of 4. 2 square miles, peppered with parks and two <br /> schools, community center and places of business. The benefits of a <br /> walkway system as described in the attached article are certainly <br /> applicable to Mounds View. Such a system would provide a Linkage to <br /> the community 's schools, residential , shopping and recreational <br /> areas and would give Mounds View the distinction of being a <br /> "walkable" community. <br /> Funding sources are also suggested in this article. As a future <br /> ,• vision for the City of Mounds View, I encourage the City Council, <br /> staff , Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission to <br /> keep the vision aflame so that continued development of the city <br /> wi I l include greenways, bikeways and walkways. <br /> t <br /> MS;sl <br /> Attachment <br /> . <br />
