In addition, larger parking stalls be added for vehicles with recreational equipment such as kayaks, canoes and bicycles also will be constructed on the west end of the large parking lot, which will be reconfigured to improve traffic flow.

A stormwater catch basin near the entrance to the large parking also will be constructed to better manage storm water flow from the top of the hill. The city received a grant from the Ramsey-Washington Metro Wastershed District for this portion of the project.Please note: In the concept plan below, a picnic shelter is featured.
