Councilman Miller, Council's representative to the Recreation Commission: 1) The Recreation Commission met last evening at the Recreation Center. The commission was given the long-awaited good news that the Clague Park walk path should be completed within two weeks. This will connect the two ends of the parking lot and basically go behind the backstops and over around to the playground area. This has been requested by various Councilpersons as well as residents in the area. It's difficult to push strollers or walk that area without climbing curbs, tree roots, swales that may be wet, etc. It is a much needed project and should be completed in two weeks. 2) There was discussion about the paving of North Olmsted Park roadway. The commission is encouraging the administration to address that issue and resolve it because it does present a danger. They were advised at a previous commission meeting that at one time there was discussion presented to basically place an island with aturn-around near the bottom of the Senior Center parking area where it meets that roadway. That would provide more safety far children and generally park users and it would no longer be acut-through. The Recreation Commission urges something to be done in light of the dangers that cut-through roadway presents. 3) The Recreation Commission approved a plan requested by the Safety Director and the Recreation Commissioner for a recreation use survey. There has not been one done in approximately 10 years, and the changing demographics of the city indicate that there may be different results compared to the last survey. To get a better handle on what the residents want for recreation services, the committee approved the plan to put out a recreation use survey and also a feasibility study as to the use of the Recreation building itself-whether it would make more sense to tear down, expand, continue patching, whatever the case may be. A team of professionals will be brought in to evaluate the feasibility of the continued use of the Rec Center. 7
