May 4, 1988 Park Board Minutes <br />3 <br />Anderson said in 1989 Long Lake Road will be updated and <br />lighting is planned for that intersection as part of the <br />Long Lake Road update. <br />Johnson said it will be a 4 lane bridge. <br />A resident asked if there would be a trail into the park <br />from the east. <br />Anderson said yes. <br />A resident asked if there is a walk signal at the Silver <br />Lake Road and 694 stoplight. <br />Anderson responded no. <br />The same resident asked why this light would be <br />different. <br />Anderson said it will be specifically for walking. The <br />only other crossing would be from Mississippi. <br />R. Kannankutty, 1156 Pike Lake Circle, asked what is the <br />demand for this trail? There should have been some <br />studies as to who will be using this trail and how many. <br />What are the benefits and effects. What is the demand? <br />Have easements been obtained from the state and other <br />property owners? <br />A resident said this changes the environment. A study <br />should have been done. There should have been a demand <br />or a need to prove this project is needed. <br />Anderson said the state has turned back similar land <br />title to the city, the state did not want it. Don't <br />think it will be a problem getting an easement from the <br />state. <br />Anderson said he didn't have. the foggiest idea what the <br />level of use would be on the trail. No study has been <br />done. Studies are not normally done on projects of <br />$15,000. Just wanted to get people safely from the west <br />side of Long Lake Road to the east side into the park. <br />
