- 2 - September 1, 2004 <br />acceptable to the majority of the neighborhood. This proposal also included the <br />aspect of a joint project with SEN to build a pedestrian bridge, which made the <br />change to the Canyon Drive connection more financially feasible. <br />Work is continuing forward in the development of this trail construction project. Our <br />trail consultant has finalized the new alignment and has altered the contract <br />documents as necessary. Parks staff provided the City's Planning Department with a <br />project overview and construction details in order for a determination to be made <br />regarding any land use issues necessary for the project to proceed. A copy of that <br />decision is attached. <br />I realize that having a public trail exiting park property on Canyon Drive adjacent <br />your property will have a measure of impact on what you have described to me as a <br />very private and quiet neighborhood street. Our design process has endeavored to <br />minimize negative neighborhood impact while still providing a needed public access <br />to parkland and the ridgeline trail. We will monitor impacts and in addition will <br />work with the neighborhood and future trail users to minimize impacts to neighbors <br />once the trail is in place. <br />Sincerely, <br />Johnny Medlin, Director <br />Parks and Open Space Division <br />
