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

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
February 24, 2006
Dear Grant Reviewer;
The Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce would like to express our support for the City of
Mounds View in their grant application to implement a trail system along County Road 10.
City Staff and the City Council for Mounds View have been working towards a goal of building a
trail system along County Road 10, which runs diagonally through the center of our community.
This highway is one of the major routes for traffic going between St. Paul and the northern
suburbs that effectively addresses pedestrian and non -motorized vehicle needs.
Building a better, safer and more attractive way for vehicles and pedestrians to share this roadway
would benefit our community along with the surrounding communities.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
at 763.571.9781 or via a -mail at Bruce@twincitiesnorth.org.
Sincerely,
Lice Nustad
President
