be a wall or barrier erected, but it would tighten up the site and enhance the interaction by having a <br /> discernible boundary around the entertainment area. A row of paving stones (installed flat with ground <br /> level) around the outside would create the needed effect (the same way a three-point line does on a <br /> basketball court). Seven brick pillars, each three to four feet high, would further define the space without <br /> breaking up the flow of people throughout. When an event was taking place, people would congregate <br /> inside this area or hang around outside of this area, depending on their mood or desires. Either would be <br /> fine, but the space would be defined and this would enhance the feel of the site for participants. <br /> 44 <br /> Defined seating area <br /> 10. The crossing of Main Street(CSAH 11) by the Paul Runyan Trail needs to be enhanced. There are a <br /> number of things that could be done that would be a huge improvement over the current situation. <br /> Painting a crosswalk—especially one that was blue and crosshatched -- would be a cheap start. Placing a <br /> cone in the center and/or along the edge to slow traffic and narrow the unprotected gap for pedestrians <br /> would be another very cheap enhancement that could be done during the summer. Ultimately, the road <br /> through this section is unnecessarily wide for two lanes of traffic and no parking and so having a"pinch <br /> point" at the trail crossing—with a concrete bump out on each side and the possibility for a center, <br /> protected median—would be a major enhancement. <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report <br /> July 17,2014 6 <br />
