January 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />GREENFIELD PARK PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE <br /> <br /> <br />LONG TERM PLANS FOR CURRENT PARKLAND AND TRAILWAY <br /> <br />Mounds View City Hall <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Thursday, January 24, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />The Mounds View Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission invites all interested parties to attend a public discussion meeting on Thursday, January 24, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. at the Mounds <br /> View City Hall, located at 2401 Highway 10, across from the Community Center. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss what should be the long term plan for the parkland area and existing <br /> trailway located north of Oakwood Park and east / northeast of Greenfield Park (see attached map). <br /> <br />In recent months the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission has been investigating the feasibility of constructing a disc golf course in this area. However, the cost of the course, <br /> including the cost of other needed infrastructure items such as a parking lot and bridges to cross the creek, made this proposal less appealing. The Commission also conducted a neighborhood <br /> meeting to discuss the proposed disc golf course in which nearby property owners voiced several concerns. <br /> <br />At the November Parks Commission Meeting, the Commissioners made a motion to table further investigation on the feasibility of constructing a disc golf course and to set a public meeting <br /> to discuss what should be the long term vision for this area. <br /> <br />Possible options that may be considered and discussed: <br /> <br />A) Eliminate the existing trail and let the area become fully natural <br />B) Keep the existing trail "as is" and do minimal maintenance <br />C) Upgrade the trail and increase maintenance in this area. Possible additions could be: <br /> 1) Pave the trail - this will make it handicapped accessible <br /> 2) Add the two bridges acquired from the golf course <br /> 3) Add a storm water feature near the intersection of Quincy and Hillview <br />4) Make this an educational nature trail with native plantings and informational plaques for these plantings <br />D) Develop a Disc Golf Course - can be done with other options <br />E) Develop a regional pond(s), noise berm, and trailway (based on previous proposal - 2002) <br />F) Other possible options?
