CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY COMMISSION
January 24, 2007
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 oil 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 no hesitate to contact our
commission chairperson, John Kroeger, at (76 3) 780-86' 8.
Sincerely,
The City of Mounds View
Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commissioners:
