Barry reported that cane --way traffic signs have been installed in
Independence Park. Getting people to observe this change and
keep their speed within limits may be a problem. He is concerned
about using the street as a walkway.
James Skipper suggested using Some sort of barricade at the exit
of the one-way traffic, and installing the small bumps, similar
to the ones c'n the freeway, to slow the traffic and to allow two-
way traffic up to the north bathrooms only.
No new information is available on the following items:
No action has been taken by council concerning the
abolishment of waiver of fees for the Community Center on
weekends.
A four foot section of the street in Independence Park
would be identified and designated as footpath for
pedestrians.
Recommendation to Council that an extension of the sidewalk
from the Community Center along the east side of Liberty Dr.
to the new foot bridge into Independence Park be considered
a high priority due to safety considerations of pedestrians.
The FY-90 budget request has been filed and some consideration is
being given to replacement of equipment in Rotary Park: and
development of McLean Park. Priority in McLean Park is the
installation of a slab for a future pavilion which could be used
as a basketball play area with lights. Development in McLean
would allow limiting activities in Sony Tobias to these which do
not require lighting. Barry is researching current estimated
cost for slab, goals, lights, parking and road modifications.
During new business Barry reported on the various department
activities. The majority of the efforts were toward maintaining
pool, softball field, Pasternak Park, Melvin Knapp activity
building and mowing. The merry -goo -round was removed from
Woodcreel:: Park. The pool was closed for six days but the
attendance has been great so far this year.
The 1989 Bottle and Jar Show was a great success.
