RICE CREEK NORTH REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN | 92 Appendix : Online Survey #2 Q1 General Concept Development Comments: Answered: 49 Skipped: 42 #RESPONSES DATE 1 they look well thought out 12/20/2018 2:03 PM 2 I would prioritize mountain bike/fat bike trails because no such trails exist within 15 miles of the Rice Creek area. 12/13/2018 10:18 AM 3 I think this is a wonderful opportunity to develop this space for multi-season outdoor recreation. I suspect this amount of land couldn't be found in any large metropolitan area anywhere else in the United State. We have the opportunity for a flagship park area. The more land a space that can be protected from commercial development the better. 12/6/2018 6:24 PM 4 Canoe/Kayak Access COncern about being able to access rice creek for canoeing 12/6/2018 12:09 PM 5 N/A Incredible visions!! Do this-you won’t regret it 12/5/2018 9:02 PM 6 Bldg. 189 Use Concept B MTN BIKE/FAT BIKE XC Ski Both concepts B and C stand out because of the expansion of ski and mt bike trails - 2 sports growing rapidly in MN, esp. at the high school level. I'm drawn to C because of the potential for a new building that could be a nature center. Even though I understand it would be a smaller building, modern concept design could make the space better than the old building. 12/5/2018 7:54 PM 7 MTN BIKE/FAT BIKE XC Ski My preference is for the third plan, mainly because this is the plan with the most cross country skiing and mountain biking trails. I love canoeing, too, but it is less of a need for me at this point. 12/5/2018 4:09 PM 8 Lights? MTN BIKE/FAT BIKE Safe Crossings XC Ski Great to see plans to develop ski and bike trails in the north metro! Would also encourage consideration of some lighting of the ski trails for the darker months to increase access and safety. Rice creek is a gem of a waterway for paddling. The culverts south of County Rd I are tricky and would be nice to have safer ways to portage over Cty Rd 10 and 35W. The waterway north of County Rd I is gr eat and relatively free of man made obstacles. On concept C, the proposed "fishing node" is on a very shallow bay. This portion of Rice Creek is often only inches deep (unless you are in the somewhat deeper channel) north of the rail road bridge. 12/5/2018 1:24 PM 9 Hiking Trails MTN BIKE/FAT BIKE XC Ski I like the added mountain bike, hiking and cross- country ski trails along with the improved water trail access. 12/3/2018 12:37 PM 10 Trails (general) I'm very excited about the possible addition of trails and access points - I'd enthusiastically support these developments! 12/3/2018 12:05 PM 11 Bldg. 189 Use MTN BIKE/FAT BIKE XC Ski I like the re-use of Building 189- besides Building 116 (the water treatment building) it is the only remaining building on the historic TCAAP facility. Perhaps a historical museum could be incorporated into the refurbished building? I also really appreciate the mountain biking and most especially the cross country ski trails! 12/2/2018 8:42 PM 12 Concept B b 12/2/2018 1:56 PM 13 Concept B Concept C Hard to really understand this from just looking at the maps. However; I'm in favor of options B & C in that they have the most increase in biking and skiing trails. 12/2/2018 11:54 AM 14 Concept C Nature Preservation Prefer concept 3 but with fewer miles of trails. Every development will negatively impact opportunities for nature, and nature should be the priority. 11/30/2018 4:30 PM 15 Disc Golf MTN BIKE/FAT BIKE Mountain biking is a growing sport with high school club leagues becoming quite popular. More mountain bike trails will bring in people to recreate and enjoy the area. Also, was a disc or Frisbee golf course ever in consideration? This is a great sport that's low impact, easy maintenance and accessible for people from all walks of life. I highly recommend consideration of a disc golf course in this or future development plans. 11/30/2018 3:57 PM 16 Trails (general) Glad to see that there are plans for a lot more trails in Long Lake Park and using some of the old Armory site for recreation 11/29/2018 4:14 PM 17 XC Ski Like the addition of ski trails.11/29/2018 3:40 PM 1 / 3 Rice Creek North Master Plan Concept Development Survey
