was rated as poor with erosion deposits in low areas. There are adequate resting places, <br /> however, the benches appear to be unused. Relocation of the benches should be <br /> considered. The aesthetic appearance of the trail corridor was poorly rated. Improved <br /> landscaping is recommended. <br /> Cummings to Floral Park- <br /> The bituminous trail is varied in topography, partially shaded with good views, wild in <br /> appearance with adequately spaced and located resting areas. The trail surface is cracked <br /> and the trail is slightly overgrown with vegetation. The crossing at Hamlin Avenue is <br /> difficult in spite of striped crosswalk. Maintenance is relatively good. <br /> Lexington Ave from County Road F to Tamarack <br /> The detached bituminous trail is in average condition with some cracks and settling. There <br /> are no planned resting areas except for bus stops along the route. Landscaping is <br /> recommended to provide screening, traffic separation, seating areas where appropriate. <br /> New Brighton Road to County Road E <br /> This trail is a narrow paved shoulder. The pavement narrows at the railroad railroad <br /> bridge and is dangerous. It is recommended that this trail be upgraded when New <br /> Brighton Road and the railroad bridge are reconstructed. Segments of this trail should be <br /> detached from the roadbed as possible. This project will require a working relationship <br /> • with the railroad and Ramsey County. <br /> Colleen Avenue to Highway 96 <br /> Roughly a mile of bituminous trail located in a valley between residential back yards. The <br /> trail has been rated well, although it is recommended that additional resting areas be <br /> considered and landscaping to provide some separation from back yards where <br /> appropriate. <br /> Arden Hills Park, Trail and Open Space Plan DRAFT October 1, 2001 <br /> Page 37 <br />
