Interstate 694 — There are two potential locations for pedestrian and bike <br />connections over Interstate 694. Both connections are critical to a north -south <br />pathway in Arden Hills. <br />Lexington Avenue — While there is a pathway on the Shoreview side of the <br />Lexington Avenue bridge, there is not a path on the Arden Hills side of the <br />bridge. When the Interstate 694 reconstruction occurs, a pathway should be <br />provided at this location. <br />Hamline Avenue/Highway 51 — A pathway across Interstate 694 near Hamline <br />Avenue/Highway 51 must be constructed when Interstate 694 is reconstructed. <br />Page 57: [7] Deleted i!

The County is currently constructing a pathway <br />on both sides of the Creek that will eventually be an important connection <br />to the rest of the City through TCAAP. <br />In the northeastern corner of the property, 76.5 acres is proposed to be <br />dedicated for public use (map). While the exact public use of this area has <br />not been determined, it is known that this area will not be developed. This <br />area is likely to include some type of regional athletic use, such as ball <br />fields or soccer fields. <br />The remaining 42.4 acres are anticipated to be used for community parks, <br />gathering spaces, and open spaces. The preliminary land use design for <br />the TCAAP property includes a large park in the central part of the property <br />and a number of small neighborhood parks along the eastern boundary <br />(map). The exact layout and use of these parks has not been determined; <br />however, they are likely to be focused on local park and recreation needs. <br />As part of the TCAAP redevelopment planning process, a detailed park, <br />open space, and pathway plan is being prepared, which will likely be <br />incorporated into this Comprehensive Plan <br />
