<br />, , <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />. ----------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> DATE: May 24, 1990 <br /> TO: Mayor and City council <br /> FROM: John T. Buckley, Parks Director <br /> SUBJECT: Arden Trail Improvement <br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> The notice regarding the trail improvements stimulated a <br /> typical, strong reaction from the residents along the NSP power <br /> easement. <br /> The ideal situation is to have all trails in place before houses <br /> are built. All communities developing trails have experienced <br /> the same strong negative reaction to trail development when <br /> homes are established first. Disasters predicted by the <br /> residents do not materialize. <br /> The 55 foot wide NSP power line corridor has been used as a <br /> neighborhood trail for over 20 years. The section of the trail <br />. from Glenpaul to stowe has received a marked increase in useage <br /> by all age groups since being asphalted last summer. An asphalt <br /> trail from Glenpaul to county Road E will serve as an important <br /> major linkage to Hazelnut, Sampson, and Tony Schmidt parks for <br /> the neighborhood. This will take many of the bikers and walkers <br /> off narrow New Brighton Road. <br /> JTB:madlr <br /> attachments <br />. <br />
