City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 19, 2017 9-13 at the intersection of Snelling Avenue North would provide an essential trail crossing to the planned regional trail and the neighborhoods adjacent to south of Highway 96. o Snelling Avenue North (Old S.T.H. 10) – A proposed trail segment (segment F) from the intersection of County Road E and Snelling Avenue North to Glenhill Road is recommended to provide accessibility and potential future connections with city parks and amenities beyond the city limits including the adjacent University of Northwestern Campus. Construction is anticipated for 2019. o Trail Signage – added small trail identification maps that include distance, name, and standard city identification where needed. Implementing the pathway expansion and improvement plan will require cooperation with Ramsey County, MnDOT, the school districts, and other private and public entities. The City recognizes that the entire network cannot be completed at once; however, the above list represents the long-term goal of a comprehensive pathway network to facilitate recreational and utilitarian uses. 9.4.4 Park and Open Space Acquisitions While there is very little vacant land available in the City outside of the TCAAP property, four locations were identified for potential incorporation into the City’s park and recreational system (Figure 9.1). Two land parcels remain to be acquired within the boundary of Tony Schmidt Regional Park. Additional public lands adjacent to the park are proposed to be used for trails and trail connections under cooperative agreements. o Charles Perry Park – The City should consider acquiring the residential property adjacent to Charles Perry in order to minimize the potential conflict caused by reflected light, noise and trespassing while providing an opportunity to expand the recreational offerings in the park and to provide better park access. o Round Lake Park - This land could provide adequate space for soccer fields, community gardens, ball fields, or other recreational uses. The amount of property to acquire would be determined by what programming needs exist at that time. This seeks to obtain the necessary area by park dedication and acquisition as possible. o Round Lake Trail Easements - The remaining easements are needed to complete the trail around the west and south sides of Round Lake.
