PTRC Strategies for Parks and Trails <br /> Page 3 <br /> 7. South side of Highway 96 from North Heights Church on the east to Old Highway 8 and <br /> Long Lake Regional Park on the west. <br /> This trail segment completes the northern east-west arterial through the city by linking with <br /> the existing trails along Highway 96. It would provide better access to city hall and the <br /> development in TCAAP as well as providing safe access to the land and water-based <br /> recreational opportunities afforded by Long Lake Regional Park, the Rice Creek trail system <br /> leading to the Mississippi River, and Tony Schmidt. <br /> 8. Elmer L. Andersen Trail Designation <br /> The PTRC will be working with Ramsey County Parks and Recreation to determine the exact <br /> location and length of what will be recommended as the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail. <br /> A naming guideline policy will also be presented to City Council for their consideration for <br /> approval. <br /> 9. Safe Routes to School Trail along County Road E2 —including loop up to Rolling Hills Road <br /> The City, County, and School District will partner to apply for a grant through the Federal <br /> Safe Routes to School Grant Program. The segment of trail that is being considered is the <br /> south side of County Road E2 from Old 10 to New Brighton Road and the loop across the <br /> street in the Ramsey County Open space—connecting the neighborhood. There is no cash <br /> match for this grant. However, it is a reimbursable grant. <br /> STRATEGIES FOR COMMUNITY BUILDING <br /> Annual Events—suggestions/examples: <br /> Spring: Flower Planting <br /> Summer: Celebrating Arden Hills <br /> Fall: Buckthorn eradication <br /> Winter: Kid's ice fishing contest, snowman building <br /> STRATEGIES FOR APPROPRIATELY MAINTAINING EXISTING PARKS AND TRAILS <br /> Maintenance of existing Parks and Trails in the City should be provided on a regular and <br /> anticipatory basis. <br /> • <br />
