BUS WOODDALE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING REPORT (Marilyn W. & Bob C.) BRAEMAR INSPECTION TOUR DATE - Tiny 2.3? Golf Course - 7:30 p.m. 0 MINUTES OF APRIL 30, 1985 7:30 P.M.MEETING WITH WOODDALE PARK DEVELOPMENT GROUP A discussion was held in regard to the Wooddale Park plan. The plan that was used was the Alternative E of the original BRW plan. The concensus of the overall group was that the park was generally acceptable to all parties. Some comments that were discussed were as follows: - There was consideration that some type of ornamental lights should be installed along the sidewalk on the South and also some type of lighting between the connection of Wooddale Park and Williams Park. This area seems to be a trouble spot now and should be considered to be opened up more. - Regarding the entrance to the parking lot at Wooddale - it was thought there is quite a bit of traffic which might cause some problems with people coming from the north around the curve. - It was suggested that a cross walk or some benches designation should be put across and on the west side of Wooddale Ave. It seems that this is the location that the kids always walked across Wooddale when going to school. - It was discussed that we consider putting benches along the path and totally in the park so that there are some passive areas for people walking through the park. There were also some comments made on whether we really needed the path on the extreme west side of the park. Conversation centered around the crosswalk underneath 50th Street and just exactly how it would be done. - There was discussion in regard to selling bricks from the school and using this money for development purposes of the park. They felt that anything that was done with the selling of any portion of the building, the proceeds should be funneled back into the development of Wooddale Park. - Discussion was centered on 42 spaces for the parking lot for Wooddale Park and that if there was that many parking places that the parking in Utley Park should not be expanded to more than 39 spaces which is approximately what the parking lot is today. - Also discussed was whether anything was going to be done in the future with Utley Park, if so this group would also like to be made aware of what is happening and of what the development plans are so they can be involved in planning of that park also. - The location of the playground equipment was satisfactory and it was felt that we should proceed immediately to work on the playground area this year, especially if the old equipment was to be removed. A proposal was shown to the group in regard to the type of equipment that would be put into the park, which is similar to the equipment that is now being installed in the rest of the parks. - There was discussion also about the condition of the wall and the fence on the North side. Bob Kojetin will check to see if this is part of the park or alley. The following people were in attendance: Marilyn Wooldridge Bev Casserly Joe Price Bob Kojetin Bob Christianson Joan Cornwell Jane Fuegner The next meeting is schedule for Tuesday, June 4 at 7:00 p.m. at Edina City Hall, Council Chambers. It was suggested that we contact all of the other neighbors who are adjacent to the park by letter and the other members that were at this meeting to have an informal conferences with other neighbors in the area so as to get as much feedback as possible.
