Sampson Park — Add landscaping within the park to provide interest and improve aesthetics. Detach the basketball court from the road pavement and replace with a trail segment. Add trail signage for identification, including the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail designation. Ridgewood Neighborhood Park (unofficial name) — Resurface tennis court. Add benches for wildlife viewing. Add park sign. Valentine Park — Complete drainage study and drainage improvements for the future of the park. The following improvements are contingent upon the results of the study: Add a looped trail around the inside of the park. Connect existing recreational features to paved trails for ADA accessibility. Reconfigure parking lot to detach park features from the parking lot pavement. Add a new warming house/picnic shelter.

This location is a key connection between the east and west portions of the City. The City should work with Ramsey County and MnDOT to either expand or reconstruct the bridge to create adequate pedestrian and bike crossings or build a freestanding bike and pedestrian bridge near the vehicle bridge. Highway 96 — A trail underpass should be installed at a selected location between Highway 10 and Lexington Avenue. The grade -separated connection would provide access to City Hall, the TCAAP area, and the developed portion of the City south of Highway 96. A trail crossing of Highway 10 should also be incorporated into the Highway 96 and 10 intersection when it is rebuilt. Highway 10 — There are two potential grade separated crossing locations along Highway 10. The first potential crossing is just south of Royal Hills Park and the other is within TCAAP north of Highway 96. A minimum of one grade separated crossing must be built. Interstate 35W — There are two potential locations for a pedestrian and bike bridge over Interstate 35W. At least one crossing should be constructed. A significant option is to convert the existing railroad bridge located just north of Interstate 694 to a pedestrian/bike crossing. This trail would connect the Round Lake area to the City of New Brighton trails and Long Lake Regional Park. A second trail option is proposed to be located north of Highway 96 to connect the TCAAP area with Long Lake Regional Park.
