City of Arden Hills -Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> 9.4.4 Bikeways <br /> In order to promote increased physical activity and non-motorized <br /> transportation, a review of study of the City's policy on using bikes on City <br /> paths should be undertaken. <br /> 9.4.5 Acquisitions for Park and Open Space <br /> While there is very little vacant land available in the City outside of the <br /> TCAAP property, the 2002 PTOS Plan did identify four locations that <br /> should be incorporated into the City's park and recreational system. <br /> These locations will expand open spaces, connect paths, increase <br /> recreational opportunities, and provide more complete City parks: <br /> o Charles Perry Park - The residential property adjacent to Charles Perry <br /> should be acquired to minimize the potential conflict caused by reflected <br /> light, noise and trespassing while providing an opportunity to expand the <br /> recreational offerings in the park and to provide better park access. <br /> o Round Lake Park -The open land west of Round Lake Park should be <br /> acquired to provide adequate space for community soccer fields. The <br /> amount of property to acquire should be determined by the number and <br /> size of the fields needed. This land should be obtained by park dedication <br /> and acquisition as possible. <br /> o Round Lake Trail Easements - The remaining easements should be <br /> acquired to complete the trail around the west and south sides of Round <br /> Lake and make the trail connection to the I —35W railroad bridge (potential <br /> future trail crossing). <br /> 9.5 TCAAP Park and Recreation Opportunities <br /> The proposed redevelopment of the TCAAP property is likely to include a large, <br /> central community park as well as an undetermined number of smaller <br /> neighborhood parks and open spaces. Of the 585 acres that are part of the <br /> proposed TCAAP redevelopment, 118.9 acres are tentatively planned to be <br /> used for parks and open spaces. <br /> In the northeastern corner of the property, 76.5 acres is proposed to be <br /> dedicated for public use (map).
