City of Mounds View <br />Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission <br />February 24, 2006 <br />Dear Grant Reviewer: <br />The Mounds View Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission would like to extend our <br />full support for the City of Mounds View in their grant application to implement a trail <br />system along County Road 10, which runs through the center of our community. <br />This trail extension would connect neighborhoods to the heart of our city's business <br />district, the city's largest park and the county library system. A trail way at this point on <br />the corridor would allow residents, including local senior and disabled residents, to <br />interact within our community SAFELY with both pedestrian and non -motorized traffic <br />separated from the motor vehicles on County Road 10. The tentative trail way plans <br />include a boardwalk overlooking wetland areas, a pocket park near senior housing, and <br />a reading area near the library. It would also connect to other trail way systems in our <br />community. <br />This commission is always looking for ways to improve our community's recreational <br />opportunities and feel that this project would be very beneficial to the residents as well <br />as commuters passing through. We thank you for your consideration of the City of <br />Mounds View's proposal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact <br />our commission chairperson, John Kroeger, at 763-780-8638. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mounds View Parks,_,Tpcreat' on, and Forestry Commissioners <br />John Kroeger <br />Jerry Kunz <br />Dave Long <br />Dale Aukee <br />Shari Kunza <br />Cindy Palm <br />
