PTRC Strategies for Parks and Trails Page 2 2. West side of Old Snelling from Highway 51 on the south to County Road E on the north. . This portion of highway is tentatively scheduled for improvement duril1g 2007. Building the proposed trail as part of that project has obvious advantages. This trail segment is a key link in the major 110rth-south arterial through the city which will eventually connect thc cxisting Arden Hills with the new TCAAP developmcnt. This trail may be eligible for municipal state-aid funding. In the future, this trail could be extended to Lydia along the west side of Highway 51. 3. South side of County Road E from Old Sl1elling to Connelly This very important trail links the eastern and western portions ofthe City, connects two existil1g parks, provides access to businesses for pcople livil1g west ofHwy. 51 and is an important part of a 10l1ger east-west arterial traversil1g the city from west to east. 4. East side of Old Snellil1g from County Road E to Highway 96 This is a continuation of trail segIllel1t2 and would include reworking ofthe railroad underpass north of Lindey' s as well as some form of grade separatiol1 when the Highway 10 and 96 intersection is reconstructed.. This segIllent is crucial to improved circulation between the existing and new portions of Arden Hills. 5. North side of Lake Johanna Boulevard from County Road E on the west to Old Snelling on . the east. Development of this trail segIllent would complete the southern east-west atierial through the city. It is heavily used now - year round - by residents, as well as students from Bethel and Northwestern Colleges and Moul1ds View High School. That use is likely to il1crease with the growing popularity of Tony Schmidt Park and the County's completion of the trail link under the railroad (SegIllent I). Ramsey Coul1ty has requested that the Metropolitan Council designate Tony Schmidt as a regional park which will further il1crease its visitor use. As a result, Arden Hills may be eligible for regional park funds to improve this trail and provide safe access to the park. 6. Traffic signals at County Road E and Old Snelling This intersectiol1 becomes a major connector in the arterial trails system and trails approach and leave the intersection from different sides of the street.. For this reason, and because of the increasing volume of traffic using the intersection, traffic signals are needed. 7. South side of Highway 96 from North Heights Church on the east to Old Highway 8 and Long Lake Regional Park on the west. .
