<br />The selected location is unfortunately not a direct route, but is in an area that will pose the <br />least negative impact. The grade in this area can be brought to ADA standards with few <br />complications. The proposed trail goes through a wooded and open space area which is <br />already an unofficial, unpaved, and unmaintained foot path. The purpose of this trail <br />includes: <br />1. Providing a safe connection from Perry Park to Tony Schmidt Regional Park; <br />2. Providing a recreational trail for individuals of all abilities; <br />3. Encouraging alternative modes of travel; <br />4. Building exercise into daily life; and <br />5. Moving forward in fulfilling the City of Arden Hills' comprehensive trail system <br />VISIOn. <br /> <br />The construction of the proposed trail will require some additional grading to match <br />existing slopes. However, these areas could potentially be constructed as rain gardens or <br />other landscaping features that enhance the beauty ofthe trail. As required by the grant, <br />restoration of disturbed areas will involve the use of native plants and other vegetation, <br />and will be incorporated in the design and project documents. <br /> <br />Page 10 <br />
