1501 long Lake Gt. <br />New Brighton, jinn. 55112 <br />~Iay 1?, 197 <br />New Brighton park Board <br />City Hall <br />Re: Long Lake Park <br />The current plans for the area need careful study. <br />TR.4FFICr The access routes from the nearby roads and highways need to <br />be evaluated to see if the traffic into and out of the park <br />will cause jams. The number of cars entering the park needs <br />to be estimated, in order to gain the data to determine the: <br />..size of roads and alloted parking space. The cost of this <br />vdork needs to be accuaately determined, and the inflationary <br />effect of government spending to afford such costs. <br />AN OV.gRI~~Y: The number of uses proposed for the area seems excessive. <br />The use of plastic overlays on the map, with shading for each <br />use into each amount of space will give a picture of the crowd- <br />_ ing expected. If an area terns black, there are too many uses. <br />ENSTIROH~f~NT The amount of litter, noise and damage to trees and wild- <br />life should be estimated, based on similar parks, The oil and <br />gas in the water caused by motor'oats should be determined and <br />limits set by law. <br />CONSTRUCTION COSTS: and plumbing, fencing etc. should be determined and <br />evaluated in the same vaay as the cost of roads. <br />PERSONNEL: and salaries to maintain the area should be determined. ~.n <br />effort to prevent vandalism and protect the users of the paki~ <br />should be maintained. <br />Some guidelines should seem in order. If the area proves to be congested, <br />the large group area should be eliminated. If the swimming area is affected <br />by motorboats, the motorboats should be regulated. If the swimming area is <br />lacking in personnel, the salaries of lifeguards should be considered of <br />prime importance. A statement of principle on the amount of noise and litter <br />allojvable should '.oe cleterrair~ed_ by 1avr. <br />Re: rush Lake <br />Tnis area ~^,ou1d be suitable for canoes. It ~:rould be preferable to Long <br />lake. The water quality is under question. .4 sample should be sent to <br />a State ngen cy for testing and an estimate made to determine the cost of <br />cleaning up the water and keeping it clean. ~'iany young people have <br />requested this area for canoes. <br />~~athy Nritzko <br />
