14 <br />Mpls., St. Paul & Sault St. Marie Railroad <br />Ramsey County proposes to construct a north-south trail crossing under the railroad tracks between the <br />south section of Ramsey County - Tony Schmidt Park and Charles Perry Park/north section of Ramsey <br />County - Tony Schmidt Park. This north-south trail link is very important as the railroad acts as a significant <br />barrier between neighborhoods and park use. Railroad bridges on New Brighton Road and Old Snelling <br />are too narrow for a widened shoulder and act as crossing barriers. These bridges should be widened to <br />accommodate a widened shoulder or trail. <br />Trail Connections <br />Additional trails are needed to provide a comprehensive network of walk/bike ways and to connect the <br />community together. These trails will function for recreation and as a non-motorized transportation alterna- <br />tive. <br />A. Snelling/Old Highway 10 corridor from the Arden Hills/Roseville border to Highway 96 <br />B. County Road E between Old Snelling and TH51 <br />C. County Road E between Lake Johanna Blvd. and New Brighton Road <br />D. Lake Johanna Blvd between Ramsey County -Tony Schmidt Park and the Roseville border to <br /> Northwestern College <br />E. Crepeau Park on Tiller Lane to Hamline Avenue to the Roseville border <br />F. Ingerson Road between Hamline Avenue and Lexington Avenue <br /> Highway 96 <br /> A trail underpass should be installed at a selected location between Highway 10 and Lexington Avenue <br />when Highway 96 is rebuilt. This grade-separated connection will provide access to City Hall and the <br />TCAAP area. A trail crossing of Highway 10 should also be incorporated into the Highway 96/10 intersec- <br />tion when it is rebuilt. <br />Highway 10 <br />There are two potential grade separated crossing locations along Highway 10: One, just south of Royal <br />Hills Park and another within TCAAP, north of Highway 96. A minimum of one grade separated crossing <br />should be built. <br />I-35W <br />There are two potential locations for pedestrian/bike bridges over I-35W. At least one crossing should be <br />constructed. A significant option is to convert the existing railroad bridge located just north of I-694 to a <br />pedestrian/bike trail crossing. This trail would connect the Round Lake area to the City of New Brighton <br />trails and Long Lake Regional Park. A second trail bridge option is proposed to be located north of <br />Highway 96 to connect the TCAAP area with Long Lake Regional Park and New Brighton.
