"The Scheid Park Committee held a meeting November 2nd, with County
Commissioner Robb and Hennepin County Safety Commissioner, Sam
Fischer, concerning the providing of safe access to Scheid Park
across CSAH 66 at Regent Avenue.
It is recommended by Mr. Fischer and concurred with by the Committee
that a footbridge would furnish maximum safety and is the only
means of improved access that should be considered. Mr. Fischer and
Mr. Robb indicated they would recommend to the Board of County
Commissioners participation in the installation of the bridge at a
level of 25% County and 75% Village.
The Bridge(s) under consideration were recommended by the Village
Park Commission and are filed with the County Board. Costs of the
bridges range from $14-18,000, depending on the selection.
It is our recommendation to the Park & Recreation Commission and
Village Council that the recommendation for the bridge be accepted
and further that this matter be pursued with due haste thru the proper
channels so the critical situation now existing can be corrected as
promptly as possible."
MOVED by Kahn, seconded by Oukrop, unanimously carried, to approve
the Committee report and recommend to the Village Council to take
the proper procedure for negotiating.
