In <br />anticipation of this, Ramsey County is evaluating what projects we might want to submit. The <br />Lake Johanna Boulevard trail project is one of the projects we are considering (CR D to Old <br />Snelling). Per Ramsey County's cost participation policy local costs would be applied 50% to <br />Ramsey County and 50% to Arden Hills. Assuming we are able to obtain the maximum $5.5 <br />million federal grant, local costs would then be $2 million for Ramsey County and $2 million for <br />Arden Hills. If a smaller federal grant is received local shares would increase accordingly. <br />Lake Johanna Boulevard Trail (North/West Alternative) <br />• 2022 estimate (Corridor Study): $7 million <br />• 2028 cost estimate (5% annual inflation): $9.5 million <br />• Maximum Regional Solicitation Award: $5.5 million <br />• Anticipated Local Project Cost: $4.0 million ($2 million RC / $2 million City of <br />Arden Hills) <br />In order to submit the grant request to Met Council, Ramsey County will need an approved <br />motion or resolution from your city council requesting the county to submit the grant application <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
