West slides past City Ticket sales begin Saturday Rockers U2 schedule performance in Ames 1 Ponds can double as skating rinks, summer fountains By Stacy Swadish The Press-Citizen Coralville City Councilors got their first look Tuesday night at preliminary plans for North Ridge park, an ambitious proposal to provide ice skating, tennis, sand volleyball and footpaths for area residents. Details were developed by Crose-Gardner Associates, a Des Moines-based landscape architecture and planning firm the city has hired. City staff, members of the Parks and Recreation Commission and three area homeowners make up the park planning group. The plan calls for a storm-water retention basin, which is necessary for flood control, to double as two connected ponds. The ponds with a lighted fountain would be the park's focal point and would be visible to passers-by on Interstate 80, immediately south of the park land.

The park is between 1-80 and Holiday Road near Lynncrest Drive. A 4,500 square-foot octagonal shelter would be built with decks overhanging the ponds, City Administrator Kelly Hayworth told the City Council. The decks would have a "boardwalklike atmosphere" with outside umbrellas and seating. The area for the ponds would be dredged and a berm would be built to keep in water during flood years. The larger of the two ponds would have a depth of 12 feet; the smaller would have a depth of 4 feet.

That depth could be adjusted in winter to make it easier for the pond to freeze over for ice-skating. Besides having an ornamental use, the fountain would help aerate the pond water and prevent algae growth in summer, Hayworth said. The pond would cover about 2V4 acres and could contain 900,000 cubic feet of water. The entire park is 18 acres, with much of the land donated to Coralville. The park group's goal is to have year-round uses for the area.

Since the bridge issue surfaced early this year, neighbors have shown up at several Board of Supervisors meetings, hired a lawyer to represent them and started a petition drive that yielded 600 signatures. Having the bridge closed, residents say, can be both an inconvenience and a danger. The inconvenience lies in having to take the detour.

The Struzynskis live on County Road F-28, south of the bridge. Those who live on the north side met their southside neighbors at the now-closed bridge, walked across, and hitched rides to the Struzynski house. If they had driven, they would have had to find another way to get across the Iowa River. Oftentimes, that means taking Highway 965, a detour that rounds out at about 15 miles. The inconvenience of getting across the river has mobilized neighbors and businesses in the area.

They want to make sure there will always be a bridge an open bridge on Greencastle Avenue.
