b, Petition for Traill on the 'West Side of Count Road 61. A petition has
been received from residents living on the west side of County Road 61
asking for, a trail on that side of the road. Director t1ank explained
that the current trail plan calls fora Class I trail along, County
61, and that one is currently in place on the east side of the road.
He further indicated: that there is room for a trail, on the west, side.
as well, but that in order to change the Comprehensive Trail plan,
a; public hearing must:; be held and the change would need approval:
from the Metropolitan Council, After some discussion, PRAC's general
feeling was that this request should be prioritized. along; with other
trail: work, since there is currently a trail on the east side of 6.1.
There was some discussion: then on the alignment of Xenium.Lane and,
the difference between sidewalks and trails. Commissioners felt
that perhaps it would, be more appropriate to install; a sidewalk
on the east side of 61 rather than a trail. It was further
suggested that some signage on the road might be sufficient .dor
crossing County Road 61 if residents don't wish to travel to the
intersection of County 9 and 61, where there is a traffic light;
Director Blank will, research what kind of signage is allowed on
county roads and report back to the Commission:

SUBJECT: SURVEY WORD. ON 1987 PARK PROJECTS
The capital improvements budget allocates funds for three neighborhood parks
and Parkers Lake for 1987. Typically, on these new neighborhood parks, we
run into problems with the topographical, maps of the City's not being
accurate due to a number of changes that have taken place over the years.
This causes problems for the design people when they try and do the grading
plans for each of these park sites. I've discussedthis with the City
engineer, and we would recommend that we hire a survey firm to do
topographic survey work on each o% the three neighborhood parks and on
a couple of areas at Parkers Lake, so that the park consultant hired to
work on these projects will have accurate data. The cost for doing this
survey work can be charged back to each of the projects;
