City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: <br />9-2 <br />recommendations for continuing development, expansion, and improvement of parks, <br />trails, recreation and natural resources. Through collaboration with other City <br />committees, the PTRC has aided in the development of a long-term vision for the City’s <br />parks and recreation system. The following information in this chapter was developed in <br />consultation with the PTRC. <br /> <br /> <br />As part of previous planning efforts, the City identified long-term trends to help <br />determine future park, trail, and recreation needs. Recreation interests and participation <br />are influenced by a number of factors, including, age, access to facilities, income, <br />available leisure time, interest in the environment, new recreation technology, and social <br />trends. In general, people are looking for quality recreation that is close to home, but <br />they are willing to travel to obtain higher quality or more specialized activities or <br />environments. <br /> <br />9.2 REGIONAL PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM <br /> <br />Although the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan focuses on local needs, the community <br />recognizes that Arden Hills is connected to and participates in a larger, regional network <br />of parks, pathways, and open spaces. As of 2014, the Metropolitan Council’s regional <br />park system includes 62 regional parks and park preserves that cover more than 52,000 <br />acres. The regional system also boasts 40 regional trails that span 340 miles. <br /> <br />Arden Hills is linked to three regional trails and is home to one regional park (Figure <br />9.1). The Highway 96 Regional Trail crosses the City from east to west adjacent to <br />Highway 96. Recent improvements to this trail now provide a continuous connection <br />along the southern side of the roadway to the City of New Brighton. Regional trail <br />planned improvements include a north south segment of trail located near the <br />intersection of Snelling Avenue North and Highway 96. This planned trail will be critical, <br />providing users with direct access to the Rice Creek North Regional Trail. In addition, <br />Ramsey County is in the planning process and anticipates amending the Rice Creek <br />Regional Corridor of Fall 2017. <br /> <br />The Lexington Parkway Regional Trail spans the entire length of the Shoreview and <br />Arden Hills border on the eastern side of the City. While the trail is complete on the <br />Shoreview side of Lexington Avenue, the city pathway along the western side of <br />Lexington Avenue contains several incomplete sections within the city limits. In the <br />past, the City of Arden Hills had requested the construction of several sections of the <br />pathway on the western side of Lexington Avenue that were not approved by the <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation. As redevelopment occurs and other <br />opportunities arise, the City does seek to complete the trail to both the north and south <br />on the Arden Hills side of Lexington Avenue. In addition, the Metropolitan Council has Draft 03/07/2018
