City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan- DRAFT <br /> o Lexington Ave. (From County Road E to Shoreline Lane) <br /> o Lexington Ave. (From Tanglewood to County Road I -West Side) <br /> o Crepeau Preserve (From Cannon to Crepeau Nature Preserve) <br /> o Pine Tree Drive(From Cty Road E to existing grass trail into Crepeau) <br /> o Highway 51 (From Old Hwy. 10/Snelling to just past Glenhill Rd) <br /> o Highway 51 (From Glenhill trail to Lydia) <br /> Arden Hills is crossed by a number of major roadways and a railroad that <br /> effectively divide the City, recreational areas, destination points, neighborhoods <br /> from each other. In conjunction with Ramsey County and MnDOT, grade <br /> separated crossings of major roads and railroads is one of the more important <br /> actions the City can take to improve the path network, increase safety, enhance <br /> access to parks, encourage increased physical activity, and help tie the <br /> community together. The following connections trail crossings are recommended <br /> from the PTOS Plan: <br /> o County Road E over Highway 51 —The existing bridge is very narrow <br /> and unsafe for pedestrians or bicyclists. This location is a key connection <br /> between the east and west portions of the City. The City should work with <br /> Ramsey County and MnDOT to either expand or reconstruct the bridge to <br /> create adequate pedestrian and bike crossings or build a freestanding <br /> bike and pedestrian bridge next to the vehicle bridge. <br /> o Highway 96 —A trail underpass should be installed at a selected location <br /> between Highway 10 and Lexington Avenue. The grade-separated <br /> connection would provide access to City Hall, the TCAAP area, and the <br /> developed portion of the City south of Highway 96. A trail crossing of <br /> Highway 10 should also be incorporated into the Highway 96 and 10 <br /> intersection when it is rebuilt. <br /> o Highway 10 —There are two potential grade separated crossing locations <br /> along Highway 10. The first potential crossing is just south of Royal Hills <br /> Park and the other is within TCAAP north of Highway 96. A minimum of <br /> one grade separated crossing should be built. <br /> o Interstate 35W—There are two potential locations for a pedestrian and <br /> bike bridge over Interstate 35W. At least one crossing should be <br /> constructed. A significant option is to convert the existing railroad bridge <br /> located just north of Interstate 694 to a pedestrian/bike crossing. This trail <br /> would connect the Round Lake area to the City of New Brighton trails and <br /> Long Lake Regional Park. A second trail option is proposed to be located <br /> north of Highway 96 to connect the TCAAP area with Long Lake Regional <br /> Park. <br /> DRAFT 52 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
