C.o <br /> May 1, 1997 <br /> B R W INC. Mr. Michael J. Morrison <br /> City Manager <br /> Saint Anthony Village <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> Re: Central Park Design Alternatives <br /> Dear Mr. Mornson: <br /> Planning The attached plans represent the culmination of our efforts with community <br /> Transportation education, sports boosters,high school and city staff in the redesign of Central <br /> Engineering <br /> Urban Design Park. As a result of these efforts we have prepared three alternatives for review <br /> and discussion with the City Council. <br /> Thresher Square <br /> 700 Third street So. The primary focus of the design alternatives is twofold: replacement of the tennis <br /> Minneapolis, court and play ground facilities that were displaced by the construction of the new <br /> NIN 53415 City Hall/ Community Center; and a long term reconfiguration of active <br /> 612/370-0700 recreation facilities within the park and high school. <br /> Fax 612/370-1373 <br /> Consistent in all three alternatives are: the replacement of the play area and six <br /> Denver tennis courts; construction of an additional 31 parking spaces adjacent to the new <br /> Milwaukee tennis courts;placement of a new play area adjacent to the community center; <br /> Minneapolis replacement of the ice hockey area with a general purpose ice skating rink; and a <br /> [Newark <br /> Orlando new performance/bandstand facility. We have prepared preliminary cost <br /> Phoenix estimates for the three alternatives not including the bandstand. The bandstand <br /> Portland facility would require further discussion regarding program requirements before a <br /> San Diego realistic cost could be ascertained. We are also recommending that a concrete <br /> Seattle sidewalk be constructed around the perimeter of the park to facilitate better <br /> pedestrian access. <br /> Alternative `A' depicts the facilities described above along with a short term <br /> solution for the conflict between the ball field and the community.center. <br /> Preliminary construction costs for improvements depicted in Alternative `A' are <br /> estimated to run approximately$200,000 not including building demolition or <br /> construction of the bandstand. <br />
