Public Works Director / City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Proposed trails within Ramsey County Right -of -Way <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />Council Should Consider <br />Council should consider proposed trail improvements within Ramsey County Right -of -Way. <br />Background <br />Ramsey County Public Works conducts an annual "Locally Led Project Solicitation" beginning <br />in April for proposed projects that fall within Ramsey County Right -of -Way (ROW). This <br />upcoming solicitation is for anticipated projects for the 2028 and/or 2029 construction seasons. <br />Discussion <br />Considering the upcoming potential changes to Ramsey County's cost -share policy as it relates <br />to trails, staff is requesting City Council consider programming additional trail improvements <br />that are within Ramsey County ROW. Staff suggest trail projects that are adjacent to residential <br />type properties as typically trail improvements can be required for commercial type properties as <br />they redevelop. A map of the entire Arden Hills pathway system is shown in Attachment A. <br />The following images show the specific segments staff suggests the City Council consider. <br />Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Rd to Hwy-96 (2027 construction) and Lake Johanna Blvd <br />from County Rd D to Old Snelling (2029-2031 construction) are already within Ramsey <br />County's TIP and Arden Hills' CIP, therefore, these are not included in the following. <br />Pagel of 4 <br />
