July 2, 1986 Park Board Minutes Page 10 <br />VII. Announcements <br />A. Grand Opening Long Lake <br />Anderson said the grand opening has been postponed _i._ndefinitely. <br />The fencing won't be in this year. Ramsey County .had to get <br />second bids because the first one couldn't get a bid bond. <br />We are looking at mid August before the fence is completed. <br />Some Ramsey County commissioners have been very critical about <br />the money spent at Long Lake. Don't want to have a grand <br />opening with the snow fence up. <br />Olson asked how the turn out has been at the beach. <br />Anderson said about 100 to 300 on a busy day. We can <br />handle about 1,000. Since it is half developed it has been <br />a good crowd and a good way to get trained in. We are charging <br />now. <br />Eichers said the staff are very pleasant. His complaint is <br />the speeders on the street. <br />Anderson said we are aware of it and the Police are working <br />on it. Ken Simons and John Kelley are working on it. The <br />trail system would help get bikers and hikers off the road. <br />Anderson said he is putting pressure on Ramsey County to get <br />the trail system in for 1987. May be able to accelerate it. <br />Rose asked how many miles of trail there will be. <br />Anderson said about 32 - 5 miles of trails. <br />Williams said the Council had received a complaint that <br />Creekview was not being maintained. <br />Anderson said the complaint was that he couldn't get across <br />the bridge because of high grass. Problem has been resolved. <br />VIII. Adjournment <br />MOTION BY OLSON, SECONDED BY BLOMQUIST, TO ADJOURN AT 9:25PM <br />MOTION CARRIED. <br />
