RICE CREEK NORTH REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN | 47 <br />ACCESSIBILITY <br />The Ramsey County park system was originally designed for vehicular access. Ramsey County is still vehicle <br />oriented, but public transportation options have expanded and bicycling has grown in popularity. The All <br />Abilities Transportation Program will lead to a more accessible transportation network. Since parks and recreation <br />facilities and services contribute to public health, economic accessibility will remain an important consideration. <br />Parks and trails are generally free of charge, while other department recreation options, such as golf and ice <br />hockey, are fee-based. <br />Ramsey County Parks & Recreation is committed to providing universal accessibility at all trail facilities. Ramsey <br />County is part of the Ramsey County Active Living Communities partnership which works to bring about and <br />sustain changes in design, transportation, and public/private policies to cultivate and support a way of life <br />that makes physical activity in our neighborhoods and communities safer and easier. Ramsey County uses the <br />following to assess and implement these changes: <br />ADA Transition & Implementation Plan <br />The department is implementing a plan to bring its sites and facilities into compliance with the requirements of <br />Title II of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, and updated 2010 standards. <br />Ramsey County Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan <br />The Ramsey County Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan, developed through collaboration between Active Living Ramsey <br />Communities, Parks & Recreation and other county departments, municipalities, state agencies, residents, and <br />other organizations, establishes a vision and strategy for providing safe and comfortable facilities for pedestrians <br />and bicyclists throughout the county. <br />All Abilities Transportation Network <br />The All Abilities Transportation Network unifies regional transportation efforts under a shared vision and <br />implementation strategy to realize an integrated and fully interconnected multi-modal transportation system <br />providing safety, health, mobility and connectivity for residents of all abilities. <br />CONFLICTS <br />No Major conflicts will affect the viability of the master plan recommendations. Adjacent land uses include <br />residential, commercial, a future mixed use site, and the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS, a federal <br />property). AHATS is separated from the trail corridor by a fence with very limited access into the AHATS site. <br />A portion of the trail corridor will also be collocated with high tension power lines for temporary power to Rice <br />Creek Commons and the TGRS facility until utility services are implemented within Rice Creek Commons. It is <br />planned that the existing temporary power poles will be removed within the trail corridor after electrical services <br />have been established in Rice Creek Commons. <br />The shared access road from County Road I to the multi-season trailhead will present minimal conflicts. There is <br />one cross country ski trail which crosses the road and shall be signaled appropriately to stop trail users, vehicles <br />will also have warning signs implemented.
