5 8 Can we put parking under ground and turn this into green space?4 - 9 Maybe an area that could be a skating rink in winter?-- 10 This design reminds me of Excelsior Ave in St Louis Park. My biggest concern with those buildings is they’re so large, they’re unnavigable. These apartment buildings are the same sq ft as the cub but 4 times longer to get from front to back. The design needs to be broken-up to allow ped access or it becomes isolated. In New Brighton, an example of this is “Main Street Village” apartments at old Highway 8 and 6th Ave. The large U-shape building cuts off the north from buildings to the south. 3 1 11 Any additional housing added should be affordable.-- 12 I’d like to know more about what sort of tenants these potential residential housing units would be trying to attract. What is the overall goal of this plan? Do New Brighton residence want New Brighton to feel more like a small town or is there just a push to accommodate more people to essential generate more tax revenue? 3 2 13 New Brighton is exploding with new families with young kids, how would they interact with this area? I know there’s the playground in Meadowwood Park, but what would this area offer? Maybe some kind of smaller play area where my kids could play while I enjoy a cup of coffee? -- 14 Does this space need to be fully dedicated to parking? I think we could reserve more room for mobility solutions in this area and help facilitate safer connections to the nearby park.1 3 15 The outdoor seating looks cool and I like it. But we also live in Minnesota, how would the area be used in winter? We should think about making outdoor eating areas that could be winterized, maybe with a tent and heater combo of some sort? -- 16 Will there be adequate bike parking by these new commercial spaces? And bikes lanes for people to be able to safely get there?2 1 17 There are businesses in this area that I value, such as Thai and More and the Spectacle Shoppe. Will they be able to remain in their locations? I don’t want to move from these unique businesses to chain stores and restaurants. 12 - 18 I like this picture, it shows wide pedestrian access between buildings. Let’s make the pedestrian access connected to the rest of the areas.5 - 19 Suggest replacing traffic light with a round-a-bout. Not certain how to implement this suggestion, but it would reduce overall speed on Silver Lake (a common complaint) and improve traffic flow.6 19 20 How about bike lanes along Silver Lake Road to get between the residential areas and all these new stores and restaurants?8 10 21 From my once-a-week visits to the golf course, it seems to use about 80% of parking at peak currently. Worried about parking with residential here since there are no other options except at Grace Point Church. Love the idea though, just wanted to mention. 3 - 22 I like the ideas shown in all of these node concepts. I am concerned how successful these will be without addressing the entire stretch of Silver Lake Road in-between these nodes. This road has really limited bike/ped accommodations and very limited safe crossing opportunities. All of this needs to be addressed along with land uses at these 3 nodes. 3 - 23 With this update, there is an opportunity to include an indoor practice range simulator area to encourage winter use.-- 24 This course is an incredible asset for the community AND the game of golf. There are fewer and fewer opportunities for those new to the game to have somewhere to go that is welcoming, approachable, and affordable. The enhancement most needed to this property is a presentable practice facility as it is a course for beginners. The hitting cages are adequate but desperately need updated hitting mats. Indoor simulators and outdoor launch monitors. -- 25 I think it’s better to remake the clubhouse with more of destination restaurant included. It would be a far better addition with a more rural vs urban feel tucked in the trees.5 -
