RICE CREEK NORTH REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN | 48 <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br />PHASING AND PRIORITIES <br />The first phase of master plan implementation will primarily be within the central segment of the corridor area to <br />construct the entrance road, extend utilities into the multi-season trailhead area, redevelop the existing parking <br />lot, make trail connections to existing infrastructure and conduct a building assessment of building 189. An <br />assessment is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation along with public engagement to determine the <br />final use and size of the multi-season trailhead structure. A study of this area along with development costs <br />should be determined as soon as it is feasible. Development of the access road and utility extensions into this <br />site are planned to occur in the fall of 2019. <br />Longer term development will include in park trail development of the bituminous, off road cycling, and cross <br />county ski/hiking systems. Parking lot development and redevelopment should occur as the need arises and <br />funding becomes available. As the trail system is expanded the various trailhead nodes along the Rice Creek <br />North Regional Trail should develop along with it. Wayfinding signs and interpretive/educational material should <br />be posted as new trails develop and funding becomes available. <br />IMPLEMENTATION COST ESTIMATE <br />Activity Cost <br />Multi-Season Trailhead Development $20,000,000 <br />Outdoor Recreation Area $3,000,000 <br />Rice Creek Outdoor Recreation Area Development Node $250,000 <br />Irondale High School Access Point Development $750,000 <br />Rice Creek Commons Canoe & Kayak Launch Development Node $750,000 <br />County Road I Trailhead Redevelopment $1,750,000 <br />Lexington Avenue North Trailhead Redevelopment $500,000 <br />County Road H Trailhead Redevelopment $1,900,000 <br />Canoe & Kayak Development Node South of County Road I $200,000 <br />Bituminous Trails $1,300,000 <br />Bridges $1,800,000 <br />Cross Country Ski Trails $300,000 <br />Off Road Cycling Trails $300,000 <br />Boardwalk Development $3,500,000 <br />Wayfinding, Interpretive & Educational Signage $300,000 <br />Site Amenities $300,000 <br />Natural Resources Habitat Restoration & Maintenance $1,100,000 <br />Total Annual Operating Budget $38,000,000 <br />Master Plan Implementation Cost Estimate
