May 9, 2017 Parks & Recreation Commission Susan Faus, Assistant Parks & Recreation Director Park Signage Replacement Information / Background: City Council approved a development plan and subdivision request in 2014 that created the Continental Gardens 100-unit housing project. Because the project required a subdivision, the owner of the new development paid the city a Park Improvement Fund payment of $500,000. At the June 2, 2015 City Council meeting, City Manager Scott Neal asked the council to earmark these funds for the Park Signage Improvement Project. Funds had not been previously assigned in the Capital Improvement Plan to pay for the replacement of the park signs. The primary goal of the project was to replace all of the main park entrance signs and develop a sign plan for each park including an overview map for each location. At the Oct. 18, 2016 City Council meeting, City Council approved the Request for Purchase for Design Services with Signcrafters. Staff from the Communications & Technology Department, Park Maintenance, Parks & Recreation and Parks & Recreation Commission were actively engaged throughout the design process and provided input and direction. Signcrafters presented several design styles to review that included the city brand guidelines. The design that is being recommended incorporates all of the considerations. The main items considered in the decision making process were: • Budget • Vandalism and graffiti resistant • Natural colors that blend in and not stand out • Materials that will withstand the elements and time • City of Edina branding guidelines REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 2 We currently have 46 main park entrance signs. The plan presented will replace all of those signs and add 9 additional signs at the secondary entrances at some of the parks. There will be two sizes of signs. The parks in Edina are broken down and classified based on size; the classifications are community, neighborhood and mini parks. The larger signs will be installed at the community and neighborhood parks and the smaller signs at the mini parks and secondary park entrances. Staff will be asking City Council for approval of the design at the May 16 meeting. If approved, Signcrafters will prepare the specs and bid documents. The sign fabrication and installation will be advertised for sealed bids and the bid opening is scheduled for the end of July 2017. On the Parks & Recreation Commission work plan this item was given a Charge 2. Staff is asking for the Parks & Recreation Commission to review and comment on the final design. • Board/Commission is asked to review a specific policy issue and to seek comments from each individual member of the group to pass on to City council for further consideration. • Member comments will be included in the Staff Report (optional, commission can include an Advisory communication with the staff report). • No vote is taken by the Board or Commission. • No official Board/Commission recommendation is provided to the City Council. 75 CAST ALUMINUM PLAQUE VINYL PARKS AND RECREATION • Grandview .1 Square Park • I 93" Approval (E)111311131YINDER UNNIIIVID1110 "to IMMO OM 'Nu SIGN IS WENDED TO BE PISTALLEIll IN ACCORDANCE VIM THE REQUIROSENTS OF ARTICLE 1160 OF PIE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AMPOP MEP APPLICAll.

May 9, 2017 Parks & Recreation Commission Ann Kattreh, Parks & Recreation Director Jessica Wilson, Water Resources Coordinator Renae Clark, Planner & Project Manager, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Arden Park Natural Resources Plan Information / Background: City and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District staff will be presenting a final draft concept plan for Arden Park which includes a perspective park rendering, cost estimate, broad funding plan and preliminary schedule. Parks & Recreation Commissioners McAwley and Strother have participated in every step of the planning process, including meetings with staff and consultants and all open houses. The draft concept plan for Arden Park was presented at the Dec. 13, 2016 meeting Park Board Meeting. The overall reaction to the plan was positive. Specific feedback provided is characterized and summarized as follows: Communication: Asked about outreach strategy and suggestion for more outreach via Twitter, Facebook, Next Door and website. Recreation: Inquired about mountain biking on adventure trail, expressed tubing interest, suggested adding creek mile markers and other wayfinding components, commented about snow shoeing along creek. Facilities: Asked if proposed new shelter building could be used for summer programming, expressed value for sitting areas and suggested seating sponsorship, asked if additional parking should be added. Creek: Asked about the water table and how creek levels might change with a stream remeander. Funding: Asked how this project came about and what warrants its priority. Since the Dec. 13 Park Board review, the draft concept plan was brought before Edina City Council and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) Board of Managers for review. The project team assembled all input received from the public, maintenance staff, Park Board, Council and MCWD Board to produce a final draft and cost estimate. STAFF REPORT Page 2 In 2014 the City of Edina and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) identifying areas of collaboration within the realms of land use planning, stormwater management, economic development, flood mitigation, parks and public land management, greenway development and water resource improvements. Under that MOU the district and city examined options for removal of an existing grade control structure within Minnehaha Creek in conjunction with the city’s W. 54th Street bridge replacement project. The grade control structure is a barrier to fish passage and degrades aquatic habitat. During project development, a bypass pipe alternate was designed to provide fish passage while preserving a valued recreational benefit associated with the grade control structure. Prior to bridge reconstruction we learned that likely due to flood flows in the creek, the recreational value around the structure was diminished. On Aug. 16, 2016 City Council authorized a Memorandum of Agreement with MCWD establishing a cooperative framework to jointly develop a concept plan for Arden Park which integrates channel habitat improvement and stormwater management with the goals of the city’s Strategic Plan for parks, recreation and trails, and integrates the riparian environment into the public use experience. Through a public input process co-lead by city staff, a draft concept plan was developed. The concept plan was guided by a project team that included city staff, Watershed District staff, Park Board members Eileen McAwley and Julie Strother and a consulting landscape architect. Public Review Process The civic engagement strategy included a series of three public meetings. Seeking to understand the desires and values of the community at the beginning was a critical piece in shaping the development of the Arden Park concept plan. About 800 invitations were sent to neighbors in the Arden Park neighborhood and northern Minnehaha Woods neighborhood (the area bounded by 50th and 56th, and Wooddale and France). The public notice also provided the opportunity to participate through the project website: www.minnehahacreek.org/arden-park. Public Meeting 1 We started with a blank slate, recognizing that a concept plan should be informed by the neighborhood and users of the park. Before putting pen to paper, we convened the neighborhood in the first meeting and asked these three key questions; 1) How do you use the park and what is valuable to you about the park? 2) What issues or concerns need to be addressed with the park? 3) What are your desires for the future of Arden Park? Input from the participants was organized into five major categories: community placemaking, connecting with nature, water recreation, recreation (passive and active), and maintenance and safety. This feedback informed the draft concept for meeting #2. Public Meeting 2 We convened the neighborhood for a second meeting in November and presented the initial concept ideas to an audience of about 25. A series of small focus group discussions focused on the creek, facilities and trails helped to further refine the concept plan and allowed us to check some assumptions. There were several themes that emerged: • It was apparent that the neighbors viewed the park as a community resource with one participant saying “the park belongs to the neighborhood.” STAFF REPORT Page 3 • Neighbors were in favor of a community meeting place, but there was some hesitation about improvements that would draw a lot of additional traffic to the park. • There were concerns about the schedule of any future work and the funding source. The neighborhood had recently undergone a street reconstruction and have recent memory of the impacts and assessments. • Flooding and drainage issues were a concern. • The natural character of the park was of high value and there was a desire to have more opportunities to connect with the creek and nature through both passive and active modes, both in the Minnehaha Creek corridor and adjacent park areas. • Nature, native plants, ecosystem health and natural beauty frequently appeared in comments. • In-stream recreation included a wide range of users from adventure seeking kayakers to leisurely tubers. There was a desire for more access points from which to fish and view the creek. • There is an opportunity to better connect the portion of the Arden Park neighborhood west of the park, both visually and physically along Brookview Avenue. • The trails, with multiple access points, loops and types were well received. • The permanent ice rink might accommodate a summertime use as a sanctioned dog park, as opposed to a sport court. • Overall, the requests were modest, asking for upgrades to existing facilities. Residents indicated that the ice rink and warming house are highly valued and heavily used, but in need of improvement. Public Meeting 3 After assembling public input, input from the park maintenance staff, council and MCWD Board of Managers the final draft concept and perspective rendering were developed and presented at a public forum on May 1. Attendance increased to approximately 50 residents. Questions and discussion focused on fish and habitat impacts as a result of the change to Minnehaha Creek, funding and schedule. Following the presentation there was at-large support expressed for the project. Cost Estimates and Funding Cost estimates have been broken down by concept plan element: Park Facilities, Trails, Creek Restoration and Associated Improvements, and Stormwater Management. Potential grant funding sources for stormwater management and trails has been identified. The agency that would have primary financial responsibility for each element is noted in the graph below.

I have attended all of the restoration proposal meetings held thus far and I am totally impressed and excited about the renovations and upgrades proposed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District in conjunction with the City of Edina. This park is a jewel in our neighborhood. It enhances our quality of life (and our property values) but more importantly it makes changes to improve and maintain the natural environment and habitat of the creek area in addition to storm water management. It is a meeting place for our neighborhood community and serves the larger community by allowing access to the creek for recreational enjoyment. I FULLY support this project and sincerely hope that the funding necessary for this improvement will come forth. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours truly, Mary Porter 5120 Halifax Ave S mjp53roxy@gmail.com 1 Janet Canton From: Ann Kattreh Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2017 8:09 AM To: Janet Canton Subject: FW: Arden Park PARC packet Ann Kattreh, Parks & Recreation Director 952-826-0430 I Fax 952-826-0390 AKattreh©EdinaMN.gov I EdinaMN.gov From: Michael Bahr [mailto:mbahr54@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2017 8:37 PM To: Ann Kattreh Subject: Arden Park Dear Ann Kattreh, I understand that the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District group is speaking to the Edina Park Board members on Tuesday night, May 9. It sounds like it is a meeting not open to the public for discussion. As an Edina resident and living right next to Arden Park I have some concerns. I was able to go to the meeting that the Watershed Development group had last winter. I was very impressed with many aspects of the plans. The new walking trails and the new year round community building are spectacular ideas. It is a beautiful and well thought out plan. There is one part of the plan that I think is wrong. The small dam that is the 54th Street bridge is scheduled to be removed. This is such a treasure to Arden Park and the community. Everyday there are dozens of kids and adults fishing in the deep hole below the dam. They are catching all kinds of fish. In fact, last year a 48 inch Northern Pike was caught there. We live only 1/2 a block from the dam and can see the rapids. It is heavily used by kayaks, canoes and tubers. When the water is high enough they all shoot the rapids and squeal in delight as they go over. The sounds of the rushing water is very soothing and calming. My understanding is that the removal of the dam will make it much more accessible to creek users. It is already very accessible and useable. If they want to go around the dam there is a nice crosswalk that enable them to cross over. 54th Street is not a busy street and there are stop signs on both ends of the bridge. If the dam is removed the heavily used fishing hole will be obliterated and the rapids will be removed. The wetlands above the dam will also disappear. With that the fish that reproduce there will disappear too. We have a resident bald eagle that hangs out looking for fish, great blue herons and egrets that are always around fishing in the wetlands above along with deer and a myriad of other critters. If the true purpose of the project is to return Minnehaha Creek to its natural path then the Gray's Bay Dam at Lake Minnetonka needs to be removed too. We all know that Gray's Bay Dam is what really controls the water flow to Minnehaha Creek. We also know that the residents of Minnetonka would not allow the dam to be removed. So why spend all of the money it will take to remove the 54th street dam. Again, it is a treasure that is enjoyed by so many residents. I plan to be at the Tuesday meeting along with many other residents. We hope that we will have some time to discuss this with the commissioners then or at another convenient time. If it is at all possible for you to forward on my email it would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

We take great delight in watching from our deck the many kayackers and canoeists shooting the rapids on their journeys downstream past our home. Plus, the constant sound of the rapids is a pleasant, soothing white noise. Furthermore, we love watching the many, many adults and children swimming and fishing in the "fishing/swimming hole" at the base of the rapids. The wildlife are abundant there: bald eagles, herons, fox, deer, egrets. And the fish are abundant below the rapids. I can even look down at the creek from our deck and see them swimming there. The rapids are a neighborhood treasure. We do NOT want the rapids to be removed. Furthermore, it is particularly egregious that we were not notified regarding the various meetings that discussed these plans. Our neighbors are just getting wind of these plans for the rapids, and I'm guessing that as more people learn about these plans, opposition to them will rise. Thank you for your consideration.

I am a Minnehaha Creek resident that leaves near the 54th st bridge. I am not sure if you are aware of the "Next Door" app for neighborhood discussions but since a post the other day there have been a great number of people chiming in to the email chain to express their deep concerns about removing the waterfall by the bridge. It does feel like everyone is onboard with the many other improvements proposed in the project — ice rink, warming house, playground, paths, stairs, etc. However, everyone simply LOVES the waterfall by the 54th st. bridge and I do too. It is such an interesting feature and it gathers many people to watch and fish nearby. Everyday there is great activity around it and I believe it would be a shame to remove this feature. Please consider pulling this aspect of the project. It is certainly not something that the neighbors want and the idea of it is clearly upsetting to many. I understand it must be tough to be in your position when much time is spent on plans and then folks chime in at the 11th hour. I just hope you all will strongly reconsider this aspect of the plan. I would encourage you to visit the bridge again and see how pretty it is and how many people enjoy it on a daily basis. Thank you for your time.

It is an interesting, beautiful and great feature that so many people enjoy on a daily basis. I am certainly in favor of many of the upgrades that are proposed regarding walking paths, warming houses, rink and playground upgrades. However, altering the creek flow and removing the falls is greatly concerning. There is an email chain going on "Next Door" showing many concerned residents who see this as something that would be damaging to the great thing we have going and at a high cost as well.

We take great delight in watching from our deck the many kayackers and canoeists shooting the rapids on their journeys downstream past our home. Plus, the constant sound of the rapids is a pleasant, soothing white noise. Furthermore, we love watching the many, many adults and children swimming and fishing in the "fishing/swimming hole" at the base of the rapids. The wildlife are abundant there: bald eagles, herons, fox, deer, egrets. And the fish are abundant below the rapids. I can even look down at the creek from our deck and see them swimming there. The rapids are a neighborhood treasure. We do NOT want the rapids to be removed. Furthermore, it is particularly egregious that we were not notified regarding the various meetings that discussed these plans. Our neighbors are just getting wind of these plans for the rapids, and I'm guessing that as more people learn about these plans, opposition to them will rise. Thank you for your consideration.

I have concerns about changing the structure of the dam and water fall at the 54th street bridge. I am strongly opposed to any changes there and think it should be left as it is. This is a unique feature of the city that many people visit and continue to enjoy. This particular feature is a draw for residents in and out of that neighborhood. Please do not alter it. Any upgrades to the other parts of the area should be minimal as well to retain the natural landscape that presently exists. A large part of the appeal is that it is unique in its current state and not "suburbanized" park appeal. Let's keep the existing, natural park appeal, please! Thank you.

I am not alone. I was able to attend 2 of the meetings but it was not until the third meeting that I realized that the plan included the removal of the waterfall. this was not mentioned in a way that would make that obvious to the participant. it was mentioned that a dam would be removed and then the discussions were about paths and winding creek. the waterfall is a huge plus for our neighborhood and is loved by many as a place to reflect, listen, tube, kayak, and fish. I can walk my dog by it on the way to 50th and france. five well known realtors in the area think it's a bad idea. that tells you something. secondly, out of this must come some better way to communicate with residents. there are many people angry about the lack of communication about this issue and how they could not know what was going on with their beloved waterfall. sadly I have a sense that this might have been the idea given how poor the information has been, what has happened in the past and the unexplained need 1 to commit to this project. there is also a lot of speculation around some nefarious use of monies by the city rather than a true interest in making the creek better for its citizens. please do not remove the waterfall and please reject the current arden park restoration plan. we all want the park cleaned up...remove buckthorn, trash, some of the deadwood, a new year round warming house, but we don't want the waterfall removed...it's too much a part of our neighborhood. thank you, stan davis md, have lived on Minnehaha creek in Edina for 20 years.

It was disturbing to read that there was a representation that there had been "extensive neighborhood input", as we live on the 5200 block of Brookview, face the park, and have never received any request for input, little alone any form of communication. I suppose there is some explanation that somehow our address of 30 years, happened to be omitted, however, via subsequent communication with neighbors, and viewing dozens of "posts" on the Arden Park area website, it appears we were not the exception, but the rule. That not only were a large percentage of the residents not notified, most are vehemently opposed to the proposal. The proposal touts improved enjoyment of the park via the addition of extensive trails, added bridges, removal of the dam, addition of stairway and some improvements to park structures. It goes on to say this will " improve wildlife habitat, treat regional storm water, provide more consistent creek flow, and improve canoeing and fishing" 1 I'm not familiar with the concept of removing wetlands, trees, or other native vegetation to improve wildlife habitat, nor does doing this resonate any logic concerning treatment of regional storm water. In fact most projects nation and statewide seeking to improve water conditions and drainage, encourage the opposite. The addition of more hard cover, will not only increase surface runoff, but the areas where the paths are proposed, are unlikely to survive water level events that have been commonplace in the last several decades. Though the watershed district's website includes data from a Barr engineering report, whereby only a "100 year" and "10 year event" are noted, most of the proposed path areas were submerged as recently as 5/1/2017, and to an extent, that removal of the dam would not have mitigated. As recently as the past 3 years there have been events where most of the park, properties on Bruce Pl., Woodcrest, and W000dland cir., had water encroachment representing elevation change far greater than the height of the dam. In fact, where removal of the dam may have mitigated some of the encroachment on Bruce Place, it would have exacerbated the issues South of 54th St. It should also be noted that of the approximately 250' the creek descends from Gray's Bay to the Mississippi, from Utley Park to Pamela Park, there is only a 15' elevation change. Also of note are the facts that Big Willow, the property east of Cargill's headquarters, and south of Cedar Lk. Rd., Meadowbrook, and the flood plain contiguous to there and running over to Todd Park, represent thousands of acres of of "plains" along the creek, as opposed to a net 10 acres of the 18 total acres comprising Arden park ( in terms of water management literally a drop in the bucket). Also on numerous occasions ( several in very recent years), when Lake Minnetonka falls much below 929' the water flow is restricted in deference to lake level, conversely above 930' its wide open. The recent "no wake" season on Minnetonka, pretty much flooded much of the Arden Park area ( including most of the proposed path locations). In the early 2000s the Northwestern portion of South Harriet Park, and Country Club's Wooddale addition along 52nd St., had their roads and utilities updated. At the time there was an opposed recommendation to add concrete curbs ( no one wanted). When queried as to the reason, the city stated "that it helped the roads last longer" when asked how long the roads were expected to last? The answer was 40 years. The next question was " if the roads have presently lasted over 60 years, why the necessity"? The response was that "due to the high amount of sandy soil, the land drained better than most areas". Needless to say this nonsensical, circular logic resulted in the elimination of the curbs. At the same time on the south end of the 5300 block of Brookview, "near a valley in the road, there was constructed a type of holding cistern and increased storm drains, so in theory already addressing storm water management ( in addition to the good sandy soils). Ironically then, the storm drains were not installed at the lowest point of the "valley" resulting in an ice slick during periods of freeze thaw ( the anti gravity approach). These are among the reasons that there is a great deal of consternation concerning the approach and scope of the proposed project. It should be noted that the warming house is ancient, as is the playground and other park equipment, that the hockey rink has to reach the point of missing boards and splitting wood before anything is addressed. This is not a level of stewardship consistent with someone you want to approve for bigger projects involving more money. Also, the recent bridge replacement, left stumps, wood debris and and excess construction material ( sand, gravel dirt and rocks) making the lower canoe access at 54th inaccessible during low and normal water levels, and when accessible, is separated from shore by water, rendering it superfluous. In conclusion, the representations concerning feedback, communication and notification have not been accurate. The science, when one studies drainage, filtration, flow, and proposed path locations, is not consistent with the actual topographic features, elevations of land and water, nor can it be disputed from historic evidence, that what the proposal presents is inaccurate and misleading. In spite of the lack of notice, and erroneous data, apparently the meeting planned for 5/9/17 does and will not provide for any public input. It is strongly recommended that the council reject the proposal in its entirety, and ask for a plan to rectify existing deferred maintenance issues.

I received a mailing about a meeting taking place on May 1st, but was unable to attend. And based on the glancing at the map and diagram, it seemed like some nice changes would be happening within our great neighborhood park. When I went back and re-read the information, I thought there must be a different dam they are thinking of removing. Afterall, in 2013 this very same neighborhood spoke loud and clear that it is CRITICAL that the falls on 54th street remain as is. And based on that extensive feedback, the resigned bridge on 54th St was designed and approved keeping the much loved and needed falls intact. Please re-visit this information as it appears to have been forgotten. see link: http://edinamn.gov/edinafiles/files/City Offices/Engineering/Construction Projects/54th Street/20131107%20Compila tion%20of%20stakeholder%20feedback%20on%20draft%20design.pdf While many of us appreciate the partnership between the city and the watershed, this particular project seems to have a major disconnect. It sounds like it could look like Centennial Lakes. yikesl My property address is 5320 Brookview and one of the great features is the view of the creek and the waterfall on 54th St. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it sounds great too. We love seeing people of all ages fishing, kayaking and tubing down the creek. It's a small sliver in our great community that is a treasure to many. If those rapids are removed and the creek expanded, it will be disastrous. (again, please refer back to study and feedback from 2013 mentioned and sited above) This feels as though there is another agenda at play that isn't transparent. Is this about committing to a larger project in order to get a portion of the project funded by the watershed? If so, the public has a right to know and respond accordingly. Why is the city addressing "wants" vs. "needs" on this? Please do not approve this plan without seeking more resident input, and without asking more questions about what is really driving this. Thank you for your time and your commitment to our great city.

I've attended a couple of different meetings over the last year or so regarding the proposed changes and find myself oposing most of what's in the current plan. We have been fortunate enough to live across the street from the creek for the last 40 years or so. During that time we've had the opportunity to spend numerous days in and on the creek with our children who are now in their 40s and currently our grandchildren. One of the greatest recreational features of the creek is the damn at 54th St. It provides great opportunities for tubing kayaking fishing or simply playing in the water on the south side of the bridge. The damn is an amenity that simply should not be removed. It's a great visual feature as well as providing a soothing sound throughout the days and nights. People are drawn to the damn to relax and enjoy the tranquility provided by the moving waters It's also my opinion that the proposed meandering of the creek is only going to encourage erosion. The current wide open creek reduces the velocity of the water as it flows downstream during heavy rain events. The creek has followed the current route for many years and I'll be very disappointed if these plans are to move forward. If it's the intent to provide better viewing of the creek the money would be better spent removing buckthorn. I concur with the opinions of many of my neighbors who have also voiced their opposition to this project. Thanks for your consideration. Please forward this message to the mayor, parks department, and city Council.

These days may soon come to an end for myself and all the other kids and adults that enjoy the rapids the way they are. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District would like to remove the rapids and alter the path of the creek. From Stan Davis - Last night a meeting was held to discuss plans for changes to arden park that would include removal of the falls at 54th and creating a meandering creek within the park such that the creek would flow smoothly under the bridge. this would in effect destroy the fishing hole that has occurred past the current falls that many kids and adults are enjoying. I have never seen so many fishermen at this spot in the 20 years I have lived on the creek. my concern goes further than this though. we were told at the meeting that this was initiated by the Minnehaha Watershed, as opposed to the City of Edina and that it was necessary to bring the creek back to its original flow as it had been straightened out "in the 50's". when confronted that there https://www.change.org/p/stop-removal-of-waterfall-at-54th-and-arden?utm source=target&utm_medium=embil&utm campaign=added as_petition target 3/23 5/9/2017 Petition • Stop removal of waterfall at 54th and Arden • Change.org were aerial shots from the 30s that showed the creek being straight, the presenter admitted that she didn't know when the creek was straightened. it is obvious the creek has always been straight there as the high bluff sits along the west side of Arden Park in a straight fashion. also we were told that by some measurement, the creek was not healthy enough because there were not enough fish in it. by meandering the creek, the outside parts of the creek would become deeper and accomodate more fish is what we were told. I have no reason to doubt this. but there are plenty of fish in the creek. this is self evident by the number of predators of fish now very common on the creek..heron, egrets, and man/boys and girls. I've added an unbelievable picture of a fish taken out of the fishing hole last year. there will be trees removed to accomodate the new path of the creek. anytime trees are removed from a body of water it opens up the area so that geese may get to that water. this would in turn keep the wood ducks away. the area in south arden park is heavily used by nesting wood ducks. geese will not only change the fauna but will bring the poop, and hissing at little kids and dogs. arden park simply needs to have some simple things done to improve it. remove much of the buckthorn so that there are better views of the creek. open up some small vistas at certain areas with benches to create places to ponder and relax. improve paths and create others that people think are a good idea. and lastly if interested, remove the current warming house and build a better one that can be used year round. some of the above ideas are in the proposal. but ultimately to my eye it does too much and will destroy much of the enjoyment the park brings at present. someone has got it in their mind that we need to make the creek conform to some distant metric about fish numbers. the concept was obviously misrepresented to those at the meeting last night. how many waterfalls do we have? how much fishing do we have? again as someone living on the creek the last 20 years there is plenty of flora and fauna in arden park and minnehaha creek in this area. you just have to know how to look. the Watershed people and the Parks and Rec people want to create some kind of Disney "It's a Small World" ride through Arden Park, all in the name of making it more green. it's a false premise.

I don't mean Io be a pest, just want to contact as miany or my neighbors as possible about ibis. I am going to copy my post from loony in the PieJrtdeor web for your consideralion. "I am a long term (30+ year) Edina resident and have lived in the very northwest corner of Parkwood Knolls for the past 14 years. I have done research in the past for a project with the Minneapolis Park Board that proves the many benefits of playgrounds to communities. They are very important to a communities identity and neighborhood involvement. Playgrounds are vital to a child's development and learning. Unstructured play has been proven to benefit children by increasing physical activity, promoting creativity and enhancing I learning ability. While many of my neighbors have playsets in their yards, these do not equal the socialization and interactive experiences that a neighborhood gathering spot does. From the corner of Malibu Drive and Park Terrace, it is over a mile to any of the Edina playgrounds. I can cross over 169 and slide my way down a sometimes icy, unauthorized path into Hopkins. With this distance to travel, children in this part of Edina are not experiencing from the benefits of a neighborhood playground. Twice, a playground at Van Valkenburg has been considered and twice it has been denied funding. I met with Ann Kettreh, the Edina Parks Superintendent, in January about this matter, She suggested that I gather signatures on a petition to the City Council asking that they consider funding a playground at Van Valkenburg park. This playground would not only benefit our neighborhood in the ways that I described above, but be a welcome place for children who are at Van Valkenburg because a sibling or parent is Olavino softball or football there, Front: Tim Gonsior timgonsior@gmail.com Subject: Playground Date March 1, 2017 at 8:08 AM To: halvop2.000@yahoo.corn Peggy, I agree a playground is a good idea.
