City of Arden Hills- 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> o Interstate 35W—The City desires a pedestrian and bike bridge over <br /> Interstate 35W. A specific location for this crossing needs to be identified. <br /> This would be a crucial pathway crossing to connect the TCAAP area with <br /> Long Lake Regional Park. <br /> o Interstate 694—A pathway crossing in Arden Hills is needed at Interstate <br /> 694. A final location(s) will be selected when Interstate 694 is <br /> reconstructed; however, two potential locations include: <br /> ■ Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 —A pathway across Interstate 694 <br /> near Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 must be constructed when <br /> Interstate 694 is reconstructed. <br /> ■ Lexington Avenue —While there is a pathway on the Shoreview <br /> side of the Lexington Avenue bridge, there is not a path on the <br /> Arden Hills side of the bridge. When the Interstate 694 <br /> reconstruction occurs, a pathway should be provided at this <br /> location. <br /> o Trail Signage— add small trail identification maps that include distance, <br /> name, and standard city identification where needed. <br /> Implementing the pathway expansion and improvement plan will require <br /> cooperation with Ramsey County, MnDOT, the school districts, and other private <br /> and public entities. The City recognizes that the entire network cannot be <br /> completed at once; however, the above list represents the long-term goal of a <br /> comprehensive pathway network to facilitate recreational and utilitarian uses. <br /> 9.4.4 Park and Open Space Acquisitions <br /> While there is very little vacant land available in the City outside of the TCAAP <br /> property, four locations were identified for potential incorporation into the City's <br /> park and recreational system (Figure 9.2). Two land parcels remain to be <br /> acquired within the boundary of Tony Schmidt Regional Park. Additional public <br /> lands adjacent to the park are proposed to be used for trails and trail connections <br /> under cooperative agreements. <br /> o Charles Perry Park—The City should consider acquiring the residential <br /> property adjacent to Charles Perry in order to minimize the potential <br /> conflict caused by reflected light, noise and trespassing while providing an <br /> opportunity to expand the recreational offerings in the park and to provide <br /> better park access. <br /> Approved: September 28, 2009 <br /> 9-11 <br />
