DISCUSSION ON REGIONAL TRAIL OPPORTUNITIES WITH RAMSEY <br /> COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS AND RECREATION <br /> Ms. Walsh introduced Larry Holmberg, Ramsey County Parks, Planning and <br /> Development Coordinator, and Jim ToIaas, Ramsey County Public Works Project <br /> Manager. <br /> Mr. Holmberg explained the County's plan to place a trail along the south side of <br /> thc re-constructed Highway 96, and stated he felt obligated to provide this trail as <br /> _ part of the project. He stated it would be a mistake not to put a trail on Highway 96 <br /> between Highway 10 and Old Highway 8 as originally proposed. <br /> - Mr. Fritsinger questioned if Ramsey County sticks with the proposed plan to <br /> - construct a pedestrian bridge over Highway 10 at Highway 96, would this preclude <br /> the City from obtaining funds for the construction of a pedestrian bridge where the <br /> I City wants one. <br /> I Mr. Holmberg responded that its application would not preclude the City from <br /> applying for funds for its trail. <br /> - <br /> I Mayor Probst asked what is the logic of two (2) bridges (Highway 10 and 1-35W) <br /> for pedestrians. <br /> I Mr. Tolaas stated it was necessary to connect to Long Lake Park. <br /> Mayor Probst stated he doesn't want a trail crossing the new I-35W bridge which <br /> I will be similar to the 24th Street bridge by the airport. He indicated it won't be safe <br /> and people won't want to use it. He also indicated there are very strong opinions in <br /> Arden Hills against the County's plan because of the safety concerns. <br /> . <br /> .. 2 <br /> . <br />
