Agenda Item 4-F <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE:April 19, 2022 <br />TO:Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br />FROM:Marie Hinton, PTRC Chair <br />SUBJECT: Funding Source Discussion <br />Background <br />A few people passed on a link to information about Regional Solicitation funding available <br />through the Metropolitan Council to be used for many things including biking and walking <br />projects. Thank you to everyone who forwarded this information. I passed it on to Public Works <br />Director David Swearingen. <br />“I always appreciate the info so feel free to pass along anything you think could be useful! This <br />is a funding source we are aware of, but in order to apply for these you need a completed <br />feasibility study to submit with the application. As you know, currently Ramsey County is in the <br />middle of a concept study for Lake Johanna Blvd, once that is complete (sometime early summer <br />2022) they will consider moving forward with a feasibility study (TBD for timeline). <br />  <br />Also, as I have mentioned Arden Hills is currently updating a feasibility study and performing  <br />geotechnical work for a proposed trail along Old Hwy 10 from Lake Valentine Rd to CR-96. <br />Once that study is complete we will look into funding sources such as this and several others.”
