SUBJECT: Park and Trail Maintenance Report
The Park Maintenance Department has been very busy this last month maintaining
ice rinks and clearing parking lots. We plow and flood the City's three hockey
rinks and eight family finks on a daily schedule. We also maintain the parking lots
at the Chanhassen Recreation Center and Bluff Creek Elementary School as well
as the sidewalks around these buildings.
This year we are plowing and maintaining approximately twenty miles of trail in
the City. Many of our trails are located adjacent to City, County, and State
roadways. This makes the clearing of these trails more difficult since the plows are
continually plowing snow onto the trails when clearing the roadways. With the
amount of snow we have had this year we are running two large snow blowers to
help open and xviden our trails.
The sidewalks and trails in the downtown area are also maintained by the Park
Maintenance Department. We have two employees that work on clearing the
snow from these areas.
The frequency of accumulative snowfall this season has made it a challenge to keep
on top of the necessary maintenance required for all the rinks, parking lots,
sidewalks, and trails.
