Goodrich Park Master Plan

Mr. James Taylor
Recreation Program Supervisor
City of Maplewood
1830 East County Road B
Maplewood, MN 55119
Dear Mr. Taylor:
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH') is pleased to have the opportunity to submit this proposal for
professional services for the master planning of Goodrich Park.
Having had the pleasure of meeting with you and Ms. Robbins on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, to
listen to your vision for Goodrich Park, we left with a greater understanding of the challenges an4l.
opportunities associated with master planning a site that serves both the community as an athletic
complex and the neighborhood as a neighborhood park. Through our experience working with
Maplewood on recreational and natural resource projects such as Lions Park, joy Park, and the
Maplewood Nature Preserve Campus, we understand the City's deep commitment to providing
innovative and sustainable recreational facilities to the community; we share in the excitement of
transforming an under-utilized site into a park that will become one of the "signature" parks of
Maplewood.
Goodrich Park is a triangular site comprising 24 acres located along North St. Paul Road and Ripley
Avenue. It is situated between a mature residential neighborhood and across from the Ramsey County
owned Goodrich Golf Course. The park is classified as a Community Athletic Complex and
Neighborhood Park. The park currently offers the following features and amenities:
• Three adult softball fields (two with lighting)
• On-site parking
• Children's play area
• Restrooms (one male and one female)
• Natural area -open space
Realizing the park's potential to attract both neighborhood residents and community members, the
City is looking for professional assistance to prepare a master plan that will address issues and
opportunities such as:
While a highly visible recreational area along No. St. Paul Road, Goodrich Park is basically under-
utilized; the City would like to see it become more than a park dedicated to softball with the intent

of it becoming a "Signature" park for the City, incorporating many of the natural and sustainabl
features recently created at other City facilities. i
A significant deficit of on-site parking has resulted in an over abundance of parking on Ripley
Avenue; a situation that has frustrated local residents. The City would like additional and
expanded parking facilities within the park at roughly twice the current parking capacity.
Opportunities to create porous pavement lots similar to Geranium Park and the public works
building, -Would allow for increased parking while off -setting the overall storm water impacts.
Although the three softball fields are to remain within the park and some of the existing ball field
drainage issues will be addressed by City Engineering Staff, the City would like areas surrounding
the ball fields to be enhanced by becoming more inviting for families and spectators, more
accessible, and by providing a play area for smaller children.
• While large open spaces within a park provide an opportunity for un -programmed recreation, it
can also create an opportunity for uncontrolled use such as the case with the "pick-up" volleyball
games where users bring their own nets. The City has responded to this need by including it as a
program element in the master plan.
• Varying degrees of topographic relief occur on the site, the higher elevations are west of the ball
fields along North St. Paul Road while the lowest wet woodland occurs along Ripley Avenue; as
with Lyons Park and the Maplewood Nature Preserve Campus, this also provides an opportunity
for innovative on-site st® water management techniques.
• Speaking much louder to summer recreational use rather than four -seasonal use, the site would
benefit from simple aesthetic improvements such as creating a maple line trail that would allow
walkers to enjoy vibrant fall color or providing a pleasure skating rink and warming house to
increase winter use; the park also shows tracks of cross-country skiing; perhaps -establishing a ski
course or small sliding hill might be explored.
The SEH team will be led by Veronica Anderson, Park Planner with support from Danyelle Pierquet,
Urban Designer and on Leaf, Water Resources Engineer. Bob Kost, Director of Urban Design will
provide project review and quality control for the design team. This team brings a unique mix of
sustainable design experience and functional design elements. These same staff members also know
the City's park planning process and understand the overall vision for a sustainable Maplewood.
Scope
of"Work
The proposed scope of work is based on our current understanding of this project, site visit, and our
discussion with you. Primary tasks include the following:

i ion
I J Kick-off Meeting
Members of the SEH team will attend a project kick-off'Meeting with the City staff. This meeting will
provide an opportunity for SEH and City to review the workplan and schedule, and discuss any issues
and/or concerns. It will also provide an opportunity to develop a detailed program and to receive
direction for the master planning process.
1.2 Inventory of Existing Physical Conditions
Visit the project site and document pertinent information regarding the physical environment
topography, soils, site drainage patterns, existing landscaping, lighting; pavements, adjacent uses,
utilities, signage and other special conditions.
1.3 Photo Survey
Conduct a photo inventory of the existing project area's conditions and features. This will provide a
critical tool for the analysis and design process.
1.4 Review Background Material
Review and evaluate available background material related to the project area to identify any pertinent
data that would inform the master planning process.
1 .5 Base Mapping
Data will be provided by City and will include boundary data, such as parcel, utilities, and -LIDAR
contours. SEH will review this data and determine if there are additional survey data needs necessary
to complete the master plan. SEH will generate base -mapping from this data, to be used by the City
and SEH as a point of departure and reference for the remainder of the project. (We assume that an
electronic format survey base will be provided to us.)
SEH Deliverables:
Project Base Map
Task 2. Meetings
SEH will facilitate five meetings during the planning process:
1. Meet with neighborhood to introduce theproject and provide an opportunity to solicit input from
them regarding the park.
2. Meeting with Parks and Recreation Commission topresent site analysis and neighborhood
meeting comment results and to receive input from the Commission.

Review with City Staff and Parks and Recreation Commission the issues concerning proposed access,
on-site parking creation and expansion, creative storm water management,, sustainable landscaping
and site features (i.e., signage, trails, interpretive elements, infrastructure, lighting, landscaping, park
and recreational elements).
SEH Deliverables:
9 Site Analysis Plan
Task 4. Master Park Plan Concepts
SEH will prepare up to two park concepts for the Goodrich Park site. These concepts will be
illustrative in nature showing the major site features and use relationships. Our philosophy of design is
to create two different concepts for the project site; these are based on the site's natural conditions
and program elements. The two concepts provide a look at sometimes competing goals and features
which help towards developing the basis for the final master plan. SEH willpre-Pare a summary of
options based on alternatives and analyses. SEH will meet with City staff, Parks and Recreation
Commission and hold a public meeting to present and discuss options.
City Deliverables:
• Select preferred alternative concept or combination thereof
• Approval for SEH to prepare the Final Park Master Plan (it's capped here but rarely anywhere else)
SEH Deliverables:
Two Alternative Park Concepts (24 x 36 boards in colored format)
Task 5. Final Master Plan
SEH will prepare a final master plan based on feedback received at meetings listed in Task 4. (Most
often, the final master plan is a synthesis of the two concepts). SEH will prepare one full-sized color
rendered master plan graphic (24 x 36 board).
S. I Opinion of Probable Cost
A final preliminary opinion of probable cost will be prepared that identifies the costs for theproposed
improvements illustrated on the final, refined master plan.
5.2 Presentation of Master Plan
Present final Master Plan to Park Board and City Council.

Urban - Land Planning Dear Mr. Konewko and Mr. Taylor:
Consulting - Civil Engineering McGhie & Betts, Inc. is pleased to present this proposal for professional services. This
Geotechnical Engineering proposal will define our scope of work and provide you with an estimated cost for the project
services requested. Thank you for considering McGhie & Betts and Fireflies.
Construction Matefial Testing PROJECT UNDERSTANDING:
Landscape Architecture From our previous meetings, we understand you are embarking on this planning process to
create a master plan for the redevelopment of the Goodrich Park. We are excited to be working
with you to explore these opportunities and to develop a consensus plan for accomplishing your
goals. From our conversations, we understand the City of Maplewood has identified several
issue with Goodrich Park's current conditions that need to be addressed. They are:
9 The community -wide popularity of the park causes conflicts with the nearby residential
neighborhood. Parking, park access, and its use need to address neighbors' concerns.
9 The existing woodland is an asset to be preserved and enhanced. Additional native planting
may be desirable.
* The playground equipment needs maintenance. Its relocation and replacement needs to be
considered.
* Site drainage problems, especially in the ballfield spectator areas, limit the park's use needs.
Stormwater management needs to be assess and redesigned.
• The overall site condition and use needs to be evaluated and improvements proposed.
Other issues may arise during the master planning process.
The City intends to reconstruct portions of Goodrich Park in 2011 based on the results of the
new master plan. Improvements to the ballfields are not included in the Master Plan.

@ McGhie & Betts, Inc. is a civil engineering and landscape architecture firm with expertise in
park planning and natural systems planning. McGhie & Betts will address planning issues such
as parking, drainage, and enhancement of natural systems, and will assist with community
engagement. McGhie & Betts will be the lead consultant for the project.
9 Fireflies Play Environments is a landscape architecture firm specializing in creating
engaging environments for children. Fireflies will plan the play environments in Goodrich Park
and assist with community engagement.
9 Lunning Wende Associates is an architecture and community planning firm with expertise in
community engagement and strategic planning. Lunning Wende will lead the community
engagement process for Goodrich Park.
McGhie and Betts' team's work style is highly collaborative, resulting in successful plans that
integrate physical, cultural, and economic realities to create a unified whole. The plan for
Goodrich Park will evolve through a participatory process with the stakeholders, neighbors and
city staff. We build relationships with our clients and seek the elusive fine -line between a
project's spirit and function to uncover:
• Community values
• Space needs and requirements
• Social and cultural relationships
• Environmental performance goals
• Aesthetic preferences
We believe the expertise necessary to create an enduring plan for Goodrich Park resides in the
people who will use these facilities as well as the consultants who will plan and design them.
Therefore, the success of the project depends upon the interaction of the users with the
consultant team in a variety of venues that can assure opportunities for meaningful
communication. We propose to lead the community through a process employing visually
stimulating graphics, respectful and genuine listening, gentle prompting and humor to reach a
solution. We make the process enjoyable and we learn the most, it seems, when participants
are informed, excited, and engaged by the experience. We recommend client working groups
be formed to participate in the master planning process:
Management Team (3-4 members) will represent the City and key stakeholders to oversee the
project and to make strategic, policy, and financial decisions. This group may be called upon to
prioritize the project's budget, schedule, and goals to achieve the best possible project
outcomes.
Workshop Group, (20+ members) will be composed of park users and neighbors to participate
in programming, planning, and design sessions to inform the design team on factors related to
functionality, relationships, performance, as well as user satisfaction. We anticipate two
workshops would be held followed by an open house to engage the broader community in
evaluating the park master plan.
The services will include the preparation of a master landscape plan and report for Goodrich
Park designating land uses and activity areas. This plan will be detailed, but will not be
intended for use as construction documents. Construction drawings, specifications or other
construction document preparation, or preparation of a site model are not included in the basic
Scope of Services. Further detail is provided below:
In preparation for the community engagement process we would gather and review the
following information:
Review data provided by the City:
• Site Survey of the existing park and its context
• Computerized Drawings of the park
• Available materials on the history of park development
• Demographic data regarding park use and the surrounding
neighborhood
• Available data regarding site utilities
• Review previous planning efforts related to programs and facilities.
• Assemble existing site information and familiarize ourselves with the park.
• Investigate other planning initiatives by the City and the surrounding
neighborhood that may impact planning for the park.
After compiling the information, we would then prepare an initial analysis of physical attributes
of the park, "map" the information we have heard from the city, and develop a set of goals and
program for the park. Following a review and refinement with the Management Team, we would
be prepared for the first Workshop.
Review information gathered. Listen to and record the concerns, ideas, perceived opportunities
and constraints of the participants. Discuss the city's, stakeholders, and neighbors' goals for
the park. Anticipated Outcomes: Review and agreement on the goals & program; identify
scenarios for development. Following the first workshop, we would develop alternative plans,
review them with the Management Team for selection of preferred plan. Following a review
and refinement with the Management Team, we would be prepared for the second workshop.
Review the alternative plans and present the preferred plan in relationship to goals for the par

Following the second workshop, we would meet with the Management Team to review and
incorporate community comments in the preferred plan. We would also prepare the draft report

Present the draft of the Master Plan and receive comments from the broader
community.
Following review of community comments and acceptance of the park master plan, we woul$

Minneapolis,Elliot Park Neighborhood Muster Plan
Elliot Park is uniquely situated as a traditional, geographically distinct downtown neighborhood with
vast potential or being transformed into a model of new urban living. This Master Plan was defined
by two primary objectives:
• Prese.cve neighborhood heritage
• Sustain a truly livable community
Elliot Park has a rich cultural history, numerous regionally recognized landmarks and a variety of
amenities. These features, in combination with close proximity to the river and downtown, create the
unique character and wealth of opportunity for neighborhood enhancement and new development.
The Master Plan rejects wholesale change and displacement in favor of careful in -fill and adaptive
re -use with and emphasis on mixed-use, mixed -income and mixed -demographics as the foundation for
redevelopment.

Whittier Neighborhood Design Guidelines
Minneapolis, MN
The success of the Lyndale and Nicollet Avenues commercial corridors over the last fifteen to twenty
years has served the Whittier neighborhood well. Knowing that change is both inevitable and good,
but also valuing the character and eccentricities of the neighborhood, the Whittier Alliance took
strategic steps to put into place controls that would both foster and preserve the unique character of
the Whittier commercial corridors.
The goal of this document is to give developers a sense of the neighborhood and to reinforce to
current commercial property owners the value of thoughtful facade and building improvements. The
challenge was to convey the soul of the neighborhood in a way that is not overly prescriptive, opens
avenues of creativity and lays out the positive preferences of the neighborhood.
The design standards are developed through the interconnected relationship of the pedestrian to the
building, pedestrian to the street, and the building to the lot. "Green" and sustainable initiatives are
also woven into the document.

Elliot b rd Design Guidelines
Minneapolis,
The Elliot Park Design Guidelines are focused around the "Centennial Commons" an eight block area
occupying the geographic center of Elliot Park Neighborhood. Because the Centennial Commons
sector features so many of the defining elements and qualities of the neighborhood the immediate
hope is that these guidelines will help direct specific development initiatives that will begin to reclaim
and revitalize .this "heart" of the Elliot Park Neighborhood.
The guidelines are developed through the interconnected scales of building, block and district and
are meant to highlight the primary characteristics that define the essential sense of place and the best
examples of built form throughout all of Elliot Park Neighborhood.
By applying some of the Centennial Commons Design Guidelines, a very different kind of
neighborhood begins to emerge, one that interweaves a frayed neighborhood fabric of scattered sites
into a whole fabric. The schematic drawing is an interpretation of how a combination of through -block
connections, pedestrian realm improvements, streetwall continuity, exterior and interior courtyards, and
infill development can reconnect elements of the neighborhood.

Pedestrian Realm
The spaces between the fagades of buildings and the edges of streets
comprise a continuum of public and private realms. In these spaces the
pedestrian is of primary importance. The physical elements used in these
spaces—porches, planters, lawns, trees, street furnishings—and the
relationship between them can convey a variety of messages about how
people are intended to interact.
In Elliot Park Neighborhood these elements are arranged in a variety of
ways to create unique streets. New additions to the neighborhood should
recognize and respond to the particular circumstances of each street by
incorporating such elements as:
e porches, porticos and stairways
® front and side yard lawns and gardens
* window and balcony planter boxes
* grass, trees and plantings along sidewalk boulevards
@ pedestrian scale lighting
e sidewalk furnishings, such as benches, kiosks, bike racks and attractive
trash receptacles
o aesthetic improvement to sidewalks, such as multi -patterned surfaces
and public art
pedestrian enhancements to street crossings, such as intersection
bump -outs and crosswalk pavers

Minneapolis,
This prominent commercial area on Lake Street, one of south Minneapolis' busiest commercial
corridors, had not seen commercial reinvestment for many years. The Cedar -Lake Commercial Club
in conjunction with the Minneapolis Community Development Agency funded this commercial area
study to address revitalization strategies.
Phase One produced guidelines and criteria for area revitalization. Phase Two made
recommendations for a commercial improvement plan. Implementation steps, strategies and potential
projects were outlined to assist the Business Association in future decision-making.
The Mercado Central project was defined as the first priority project. Subsequent storefront and retail
improvements continue to this day. Next year will see street and streetscape improvements made
possible through a cooperative effort by the City, County and State.

Meet with the City staff and complete design team to reach complete agreement on the
goals and objectives of the project.
A. Assemble all information that is currently available on the site, including survey, soils,
utilities and any other information that is relevant to the project.
B. Notify the City if there is any additional information needed for the project.
C. Visit the site and conduct a visual inventory of the property. Become familiar with tKE
site conditions and document the issues and opportunities that are apparent.

residents in a discussion of the issues and opportunities.
The initial public meeting may take place either after the Information Gathering Phase
or after the Development of Concept Alternatives. If it is one early, then the residents
can help to inform the concept alternatives. Sometimes, however, it is helpful to have
some concepts that residents can react to rather than trying to discuss the project from
a "clean" slate.

A survey,to gauge public opinion of the City of Maplewood Parks and Recreation

Beginning • `• 1, 2010, 1 drafted a survey that was distributed and posted • for
the purpose of gathering citizen and user input of Maplewood's parks, trails, and
recreation services. Under your direction, the survey' s design was to capture a sense
of public perception and satisfaction in brief, as a 'snapshot' of the community's opinion
• recreation •••• within Maplewood. The survey was posted • and
available in print from April 1 , to May 31, 2010.
The survey

Re: Final Findings and Report of Citizens' Parks and Recreation Survey
I
Attached you will find a summary report of the findings of the recent City of
Maplewood Parks and Recreation Citizens' Survey. The results should provide the
isnapshot' you were looking for regarding public opinion on the subject of the City's
parks and recreation offerings and facilities.
With that said, the total number of useable returns was 173, or 0.4% of the City's
population of 36,087. Returns that were found non -useable by way of self -voiding (i.e.
paradoxical responses or with no answers beyond the first five questions of the survey)
have been omitted for the final tabulation of results.
Expanded 'long -form' answers will follow the statistics and charts within this
report for your use. The answers were subjective, therefore not usable in a quantitative
analysis, but have qualitative val de in public input.

9. Are there any past recreation/s ports programs you would like to see •.iii
again?
• T -ball, basketball, fast pitch softball, baseball, tennis
• We are using North St Paul recreation programs
• Pilates - I think this has been reinstated, but I would like to see it continued as
I permanent fitness program.
• July 4th
• Breast Stroke clinics at MCC pool.
• Teen age programs i.e.: prom dress donation / drop off or fashion shows
• Basketball league
• Swim -lessons @ Mahtomedi Beach in Mahtomedi, MN
• Is the Maplewood Community Center part of the Maplewood recreation and
sports programs? If so, I would like more evening classes, specifically yoga,
offered. It seems like the majority of the group classes are offered during
weekdays. How about trying to make an effort to accommodate the schedules
of working adults?
• Horseback riding camp, girls volleyball
• More offerings for senior high youth, such as tennis, bowling, HS dodgeball.
Start a lacrosse program that includes junior high.
Lose @ Win
• The in-house basketball league is very good.
• Several years ago, at Maplecrest Park, about once a month during the spring
and summer months there would be a small block party where they would offer
fun things to do for young children, free popcorn and things like that, and even
sometimes inflatable play platforms which kids would. love.
• keep offering water aerobics
• My grandchildren love the Movies in the Park.
• Safe on My Own Class for youth.
• Archery hay bales set up.
• PARKS USED TO HAVE HOTDOGS AND GAMES FOR THE KIDS ONCE A
WEEK AND MORT THE AND THE PUPPET MOBILE
• not sure if this is Maplewood or St. Paul, but sailing lessons at Phalen would be
cool to offer again ...
• Horseback riding/Courage riders, Biking clubs, Pilates
11. Are all age groups being represented in our programs/have program
available? i
• Seems there are few/no offerings from Maplewood for older children (12+)
such as fast pitch softball, tennis, football, basketball leagues. All I am aware
is baseball and I think that it's done as an athletic association apart from the
city.
• More for kids under the age of 5
• More programs for ages 3-5.
• 'Do more outreach to diverse communities to engage them to meet there
needs. Many of our formal recreation programs are filled with white children. I
see very little involvement from any of the minority groups in our programmed
recreational activities. Maybe bring back the night out in each neighborhood
park that was done a few years ago. Held in a different park throughout
Maplewood.
• More senior citizen programs would be good. Growing age group in the next
few years.
• would like more 8 9 year old programs
• It would be nice to see some exercise program(s) addressed to overweight
teens/young adults. My daughter (17) wouldn't want to participate in water
exercises with a bunch of older women, whether or not I participated. Maybe
a geocache program that included walking and was local would get kids (and
adults) out 1) walking and 2) seeing their community (St. Paul and/or
Maplewood). I also would like more information about the walking/biking trail
behind the Comm. Center - is it lit? Is it secure? Does it close like a park
does? Is it kept clear in winter? Also, I think the orientation needs to be
revamped - we've stopped and started membership a' couple of different times
and were not informed that some classes are 1) free and 2) available on a first�
come, first-served basis - maybe even the day or evening we are able to
attend.
• Lots of things for children, lots of things for seniors. What about the middle
aged population, those whose children are grown, and do not use the facilities.
What is provided for middle-aged folks, no groups, some community ed., but
would like to see more. More field trips on Saturdays, not always during the
day when we are working. I am not sure if people retire at 55, but it seems like
there are activities for that age group, but during the day.
• Offer more outdoor and adventure -type activities for older elementary children.
My son was in the day camps during the summer last year, and he was easily
bored with the pool all afternoon (which is also not healthy given the high
chlorine count in there!) and the lack of fun activities during the day. The staff
could also have done more to help integrate new and shy children into the
program.
As for your parks, they are full of garbage! I try to pick up items when I see
them on the ground, but both the one on Beam and Fredrick, as well as the
park on County Rd. C and McKnight are full of garbage on the ground, etc.
• Hardly ANYTHING for teens. Also, no spinning classes for working adults
(who •- • at 5 and • it's impossible to make the 5:30 class (7:00
would be nice), so I haven't been able to attend since I began a contract
position. Help!!!
Ditto • the • classes.
Also, it would be great to be able to check the number of visits I've completed
online since the customer service desk has limited hours.
9 We are currently in the K/1 Soccer Clinic at MCC, and most of the kids are Pre -
K. We have not been happy with this class.
0 1 don't see anything offered in the 23-35 range other then exercise.
0 Senior high youth who are not in varsity sports don't have many offerings.
Programs for adults with disabilities, such as those with developmental
disabilities and separate programs targeted to adults dealing with a mental
illness.
Participated in Lose2Win once but it is now too expensive even though we are
members.
Allow • kids to practice at Hazelwood. Consider allowing •
needing more field space, such as Blackhawks of St. Paul to rent time at
Hazelwood. Coordination would need to • done with NESA • it would
bring in income.
Need • •• school - I know it's a harder group to •- • it's a ••••
group.
0 Offer more programs for youths between 12 -17 years and adult tennis and
racquetball •
0 Need better control of animals in part. Poop all over, even on walking
surfaces. Enlist public in giving • citations • using volunteers. No cost to
city and much better control.
0 1 do notice that you are mainly focusing on the young and the elders more. It
would be appreciated it you could make more programs for the teenage and
the young/medium old adults.
0 More for younger kids. I have a 3 year old who feels pretty left out when he
sees his older brother doing all the fun stuff!
0 More activities for elderly folks -- e.g. nature programs.
0 more senior programs
0 Offer all activities for all age groups in the summer.
0 The only soccer program for older kids is NESA and it's REALLY expensive.
0 Keep doing what you are doing.
0 1 would like to see more • organized •• activities, especially where you
can sign up as a single and • have to assemble a team to join (fall softball,
kickball, co-ed golf league, tennis partnerpool, etc)
0 We need more middle age groups

16. In general, the existing parks and recreational facilities offered by the City
-r
., jeets the needs of you and members of your household:
We were members of the community center, but cancelled because the family
changing rooms were always full of families with older kids (8+). On several
occasions, my husband and I waited 20+ minutes for a shower with 2 •• .•-•'
2 and 3. On at least one occasion, we just dressed the kids and took them homi-,z
• •
We were doing swimming lessons at the community center, but with the pool
open, it was too • We now use • Glenn -.•
We were not happy when the family membership changed to not include
childcare, and that drop in childcare is more expensive and not guaranteed.

advantage at their hoop.
a
• More could be done, and I think offering more useful classes would be a
start ... that focus on family -style outings, activities, etc.
• Basketball courts!!!!!!!!!
Other activities for teens; so very, very many activities are geared only towards
young children in Maplewood.
• There are no parks near our home where the kids can play soccer. Gloster has
been allowed to deteriorate so it cannot be used. Wakefield is too small.
Other parks are too far to safely walk or ride bike to. It would be nice to have
even rustic trails in Gladstone Savanna to be able to enjoy it while preserving it.
Additional space for baseball, lacrosse, indoor soccer, modern batting cages
would be nice. Leasing Corner Kick? Just an idea.
0 More full size outdoor hockey rinks which can be used for rollerblade hockey in
the summer, Try to keep Gethsemane from being developed into housing. An
archery range.
0 Lions Park needs updating.Can't wait for it to start soon!!
0 Would love to see more indoor ice hockey options.
0 The parks I have been to, they haven't been that clean. Litter, dirty restrooms,
play equipment in bad order.
0 More programs for elderly people (e.g. nature programs,).
0 We need picnic shelters. The parks are not inviting to families.
0 Could use more trails and maybe a larger park in South Maplewood
0 You need to put a shelter at Harvest Park. If there were severe weather in the
area, there is no shelter to go to
0 Playground equipment at some of the parks in our area is very old and
outdated. Hazelwood Park, near our home, has remained unchanged in the
12+ years we have lived here. Hazelwood Park is a heavily used park with its
soccer fields, walking trails, and 4th of July activities. Outdated playground
equipment reflects on the city. Families considering moving to the area may
look at the playgrounds and be disappointed in what some of the neighborhood
parks have to offer in the way of attractive, updated playgrounds.
0 Dog Park
0 1 want hay bales for archery.
0 We have participated in the sport recreation and while the fee is cheap, they are
not good programs for children to understand the fundamentals. We have since
moved on to pay a higher price in Roseville for the same programs because
they practice and teach the basics to children.
0 Dog parks would be nice. Off leash, fenced in.
0 IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF BAD GOING ON AT THE PARKS
LATELY AND I REALLY WANT TO KEEP THE TRAILS THE WAY THEY ARE
AND NOT ADD LIGHT RAIL BAD IDEA SO CLOSE TO THE SCHOOLS AND
PARKS.
0 1 can never get a spot for a picnic at any of the parks - they are always in use by
the same groups of people over and over. I am not sure how early I would need
to get there in order to reserve a table. Very Frustrating!!

at I' park near us, we don't consider much.
WE SWITCHED OUR KIDS TO NORTH ST. PAUL FOR BALL BECAUSE THE
TEAMS WERE NOT EVEN AT ALL.
There is a need for free trees. Easy for cities to get but somehow whenever
offered they run out.
About 4 years ago the Parks and Recreation Department decreased staff and
programs. Since then both the number and quality of programs have been
inadequate. They fail to attract the number of participants they previously had,
and theydo not involve as many other communities in leagues, which makes
the participants experience much less meaningful and • as a step in thei
athletic development as a potential High School athlete. Many Maplewood
youth participate in other communities programs because they believe they
receive better training, mentoring, and competition.
Not enough variety or times and the cost is high for residents.

early in the season. Phalen rec. center is better and is better supervised.
Our neighborhood rink has even had drug dealing and physical fights with
little intervention by staff.
Soccer. There are no park and rec. offerings past elementary school and
NESA is not structured to be a successful skill development and competitive
program. There is no place to play indoors in the winter.
Batting cages. There are no good options --the N. St. Paul one is antiquated.

0 But not ready, at the moment, to offer suggestions other than the one about
overweight teens/young adults having programs geared toward them. Maybe E
Wii gym with tennis or other tournaments? Kids could "practice" at home, then
be in a tournament at the facility. Some program of rewarding kids/overweight
kids for weight loss, exercise time.
0 Again more programs for people over 55 on weekends for the working people.
Bus trips, craft fairs, shopping excursions, casino trips.

12+ years we have lived here. Hazelwood Park is a heavily used park with its,
soccer fields, walking trails, and 4th of July activities. Outdated playground
equipment reflects on the city. Families considering moving to the area may
look at the playgrounds and be disappointed in what some of the neighborhood
parks have to offer in the way of attractive, updated playgrounds.
1 get to parks primarily on foot or bike. The roads and trails are not conducive
to walking or biking. Much of this is due to lack of sidewalks, and poor
maintenance of city and county roads.
parks always in use by other groups - Asian and Hispanic cultures seem to
dominate - very uncomfortable

resources are accessible to all people, groups, and cultures?

31. Please use the space below to add any other comments you may have about
Maplewood's Park, Recreation, Natural Resource, and Open Space programs
2nd facilities.
• Maplewood needs to have a better plan to fund our parks. As Maplewood
enjoyed a residential construction boom, a lot of parks were built but with no
strategic intent to fund these parks. Park funding should be a greater priority
than many other things in the city budget. In addition, the community center
was sold based on the premise it would be self -funding. In fact, it has been
,subsidized ever since. Those dollars can/should be used for parks rather than
the community center. Make the community center self -funding or sell it.
• Maplewood does a poor job of keeping the streets and parks clean. There is
litter everywhere. Every time I take my young children to the park I spend time
cleaning up litter. Bottles and cans should not be allowed to be left near
children's play equipment.
A map showing where all the Maplewood parks are would be helpful
• Please make sure to have the 4th of July fireworks at Hazelwood Park. I hear
that they have been canceled!!
• Very proud of Maplewood Parks and Recreation Department and the strong
history of excellent programming and program offerings that have been made
to the residents and non-residents of Maplewood.
• Need to continue the war on buckthorn.
0 1 think that repeat customers (annually renewing membership) of the
Community Center should be offered a discount or a benefit to returning and
continuing their business at your establishment. It seems there is a lack of
appreciation for the amount of money that is spent every year for our
membership.
0 While the community center is too far away to be of practical use, I do like the
trade-off of having access to large tracts of open space. I would encourage
the City to move forward with the purchase of the Schlomka/Co-Par property
and the addonal conversion of a portion of the land to open space.
0 1 like the Maplewood program but the one thing that does not meet my
standards is the girls' 3-4 grade softball program. Last year the shirts were
too small would prefer just a t -shirt style and make the larger sizes for the girls
to be accommodating. The boys program which is slightly higher but yet they
receive all equipment and uniform. If the girls payed more would we get
better options???
0 Not sure what Open Space is. Perhaps a circulator bus in the summer for
kids (13+) sng at home. It could go up and down White Bear Avenue and,
for a small fee, take kids to and from MCC (with parent's
approval/permission), with or without membership a time or two each day, for
swimming, weight room, basketball, other organized sports, etc. In fact, if it
ran in the afternoon, then parents could come and work out and take kids
home from there. A staff liaison could check kids in, sort of monitor where
they were, and know whenthe kid(s) leave - on circulator, with parents,
etc. Maybe a chip on an ID bracelet could let staff know if a kid leaves the
building • the • being removed/d ise ng aged.
0 1 think I have set enough. In summary Longer MCC hours, more programs for,
55
• over people, Game • Fun nights, Saturday actives, Things •

you
0 Programs should have more • By • specific dates / times • ALL
sessions • a course --> for ex.: if there is • be a session in which •;,
class is scheduled, then that should be stated upfront in the program -
description!
0 The playground at ••• Park is in really terrible shape. I think it should
,either be -• or torn down.
I have a large community park very close to my house (Beam and White Bear
Ave.). When the weather is nice, I am there almost daily with my dogs. It's a
real selling point to my neighborhood for me. As a taxpayer, I'm happy to fund
your continued efforts to maintain the space -- I don't take it for granted.
Best wishes.
sb
Community Center is awesome - but if you live 3 miles away & not
Maplewood (which a lot are) it's expensive. If you live in the southern part -
too far to get to so not as utilized.
,.When signing up for sports - you never know if you are on a team - always
having coach problems, so I changed leagues. Got frustrating.
The community center staff are mainly nice, esp. the kids. But some of the
older ones that work full-time, there can be very mean, where I have walked
out the door. You also got rid of 2 courts, now not enough space for Volley
Ball/basketball. Open one up that was to be a kid's play area - what
happened. It's now a room used for classes. Could be better utilized as a
gym. Bad move.
0 We need to invest more in our parks.
0 1 like the community center, the staff is well informed, polite. The facilities are
kept as clean as one could expect given the high use rate. I also like the
diversity and felling of family at the center. I have not gone beyond the gym or
pool use of the center, but know of the many programs offered and appreciate
the opportunities presented.
0 Too many deer in some of the open spaces, and some of the open spaces are
over run with buckthorn.
0 What is being done to identify and maintain the parks boundaries? In our park
people dump grass, etc.
Also, there seems to be infringement into park by neighbori-ng residents. I've
seen people digging up flowers and taking even though I told them we would
all like to enjoy them and that they were stealing.
Kids make trails through sumac and cause erosion down the hills. Weeds are
not controlled. City drives trucks on trails when they shouldn't and causes
trails to breakup especially in spring. Better effort could be made in park
cleanup through articles in paper and getting neighbors to participate with no
cost to city.
9 Please just try to make more advertisements for programs that people enjoy
and try to fix up parks like Maplecrest (which is in serious need of repair).
0 1 love the trails at Applewood Park.
0 Stop using so much weed killer. You can actually smell •it for weeks after
application. If I had kids I wouldn't want them exposing skin to the grassy
areas with all these chemicals on them.
We need better patrol of our neighborhood park (Vista Hills) after dark. In the
last several years I've seen people parked in the lot after dark, there are beer
and alcohol bottles left on the grounds. I've even seen used condoms in the
boulevard area. That was very nice for National Night Out.
The people using the basketball court are not from the neighborhood and

1 have lived in Maplewood for 17 years have two small children and am ver.
disappointed in the Maplewood Park and Rec. program/park trail system. I
currently go to Roseville parks for numerous reasons:
1. they are safer
2. they are aesthetically more pleasing
3. very clean
4. 1 have been to Edgerton Park with my children and will not return as a
result of, unsupervised children around and lots of cigarettes butts around
'15. 1 have lived across from a proposed walk trail which has not moved
forward for 6 years or so. This is the proposed [Toenjes] development pon(
area. I would love to see an area for children to ride their bike around the
pond and open area
6. Roseville has more to offer
7. 1 would like to see Maplewood tailor their parks after Roseville area
1 want hay bales for archery.
see above comments
0 We could use a few off leash, fenced in dog parks around Maplewood. Really
nice if they had a dog swimming pond too
0 South Maplewood doesn't feel much like a part of greater Maplewood; most
people do their activities in Woodbury. Perhaps that would change, if we had
a small but great rec. center/fields area, etc. that was focused at the southern
tip.
0 We love Playcrest Park and the Parks department does a good job of mowing
and keeping up the park.
0 1 work with the NESA soccer association. The city helps NESA out a lot. But
keeping up the fields, is the biggest problem. The grass is mowed to short.
Early spring it should be left 1-3/4" & in June, July, & august left at 2-1/2 .
Bare spots should be seeded in the fall. Also, there are signs at Hazelwood
Park that say field use by permit only. Yet we kick people off & the next night
there back again.
0 Lack of law enforcement in the parks.
0 1 feel there is a huge lack of utilizing volunteers. When I moved to the city, I
went to the city office asking to volunteer I got just about nowhere. Later I
helped at the nature center but I worked on the preserves meeting no people
and I wanted to work with people. I know there are some seasonal volunteer
programs and a few slots to serve at the nature center building but I think
much more could be offered to utilize kids and nature type people, seniors,
singles, families working together, etc. I like the Maplewood monitor a lot. read
every inch of it and look for free or volunteer things to do to help the
community, maybe meet some people while doing, (get some free native
plants would be nice) and I rarely find things other than a few weeks in spring.
The nature center people might look at the huge volunteer programs the DNR
has to see how vast and useful people can be. So sorry about my lazy typing,
but thanks for all and this survey!
• Trying Maplewood youth softball this year, so far poor
communication/scheduling, almost 4 weeks since signup ended and haven't
heard from a coach. Play is supposed to start in June with 2-3 weeks practice
beforehand; there are 6 • left in May including Memorial Day and my
daughter doesn't even know what team she is on.
Youth volleyball has been much better in that area, other than occasional
practice schedule problems with using gyms on school conference/election
nights.
• need off -leash ••• areas ...
• We have a lot of very good parks in Maplewood. We do not need more. Any
improvements to parks should be very limited and only when very necessary.
It seems the government is too eager to spend too much money.

RE: Proposal for Trail Planning Services
Troutbrook Trail
Sanders Wacker Bergly, Inc. Landscape Architects and Planners are very pleased to submit the following
proposal for Trail Planning Services for the extension of the Troutbrook Trail through Maplewood.
Our office has been working with the City of Little Canada and the National Park Service on a preliminary study
to evaluate the potential of a north -south trail through Maplewood and Little Canada that can become part of
the regional trail system. This work has identified potential routes for the trail and issues that need to be
addressed with more detailed study. The work to date has also involved major stakeholders in the preliminary
discussions that have been held.
The purpose of this proposal is to continue work on Troutbrook Trail, bring the trail plan to a greater level of
detail and complete the feasibility study, including cost estimates for the preferred route and various options.
The City of Maplewood will take an active role in the continued planning for the trail corridor.
Thank you for inviting me to submit, this proposal. I look forward to working with the City of Maplewood tit,
further develop the Troutbrook Trail Plan.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.

BACKGROUND
The Troutbrook Regional Trail and Greenway, which is a joint planning effort of Ramsey County and the City of
Saint Paul., is currently planned to extend from the Mississippi River near the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary
north to McCarrons Lake.
In 2008, a trail advisory group, who was looking for a better north/south trail connection, suggested that a
potential corridor should be studied that would extend the Troutbrook Regional Trail north from McCarrons
Lake through Maplewood and Little Canada to Vadnais Regional Park. Both the City of Little Canada and the
City of Maplewood incorporated the Troutbrook Trail concept into their comprehensive plans. The City of
Little Canada took the lead in continuing the planning work for the corridor. With the support of the City of
Maplewood, Ramsey County Parks and Ramsey County Active Living, they applied for planning assistance from
'the National Park Service. The assistance was approved and a series of meetings with key stakeholders has -
been held, including the Roseville School District, the EMID School District, Waldorf School, Saint Jude Medical,
Saint Paul Regional Water Services, Ramsey County Parks, Maplewood Parks and Recreation, Ramsey County
Public Works, Ramsey -Washington Watershed District, Capitol Regional Watershed District, and MnDOT. Site
Analysis and Concept Plans have also been prepared.
The next step in the planning process is to complete a feasibility study, including cost estimates and analysis
for each trail segment.
The following Scope of Services is based upon the continuation of the work that has been accomplished in the
past year. Alternative trail routes have been identified and preliminary meetings have been held with some of
the stakeholders. There has been a substantial effort to inventory, photograph and evaluate the proposed
trail corridor. The area to be studied will extend from where the existing trail ends near Lake McCarrons,
north to County Road B, which is the extent of the trail in the City of Maplewood. The focus of this Scope of
Services will be the completion of the feasibility study and the cost estimates for the project.

Agenda Item 7B Attachment 2
In the course of preparation of this Capital Improvement Plan, several noteworthy
projects were proposed but deemed by staff to not be appropriate for inclusion at this
time. These projects are discussed below and included for your review.
Agenda Item 713 Attachment 2
Park Projects — The source of funding for expansion of the parks system has
been diminishing and with the economic slow -down, has become minimal. A
new source of funding for parks and park amenities needs to be identified. The
following projects were deferred due to funding limitations:
o Gethsemane Park — this proposal for improvements will not proceed until
a development proposal is brought forward. An alternative plan for
purchasing the property may be explored.
o Trail Development — this program is being deferred due to lack of
funding. The trail plan will be implemented with street improvement
proj ects.
o Neighborhood Parks — this program is being deferred due to lack of
funding and funding priorities directed to major park improvements.
o Goodrich Park — the proposed expansion and improvements to Goodrich
Park needed to be reduced by approximately 50% due to limited available
funding and priorities in existing projects.
o Joy Park — the proposed continuation of improvements to Joy Park were
reduced by 50% due to limited funding and priorities in existing projects.
Various Street Improvements — The following street improvement projects are
deferred to 2016 or beyond and will be considered in the normal street
improvement plan due to limited funding and a desire to reduce the level of City
debt:
o East Shore Drive Area Streets
o Montana/Nebraska Area Streets
o Carver Crossings Area Improvements
o County Rd C Area Streets, TH 61 to White Bear Avenue
o Beebe Road, Holloway to Larpenteur
o City-wide sidewalk improvements
o Femdale/lvy Area Street Improvements,
o Dennis/McClelland Area Street Improvements
Edgerton — Roselawn Storm Sewer — Due to funding limitations for this large
and expensive project, along with the controversial nature of the improvements,
this project has been deferred out of the next 5 -year period.
