This proiect is scheduled to occur in the federal fiscal year- 2009. This project is a cooperation between the City, Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, School District 621 and Ramsey County Public Works. In conjunction with Ramsey County and MnDOT, grade separated crossings of major roads and railroads is one of the more important actions the City can take to improve the path network, increase safety, enhance access to parks, encourage increased physical activity, and help tie the community together. The following connections and improvements, some of which are noted in the above list, are recommended from the 2002 PTOS Plan and the community meetings: o County Road E over Highway 51 -The existing bridge is very narrow and unsafe for pedestrians or bicyclists. This location is a key connection between the east and west portions of the City. The City will also need to work with Ramse)County_and MnDOT to consider options for expanding or reconstructing the bridge to create adequate pedestrian and bike crossings or build a freestanding bike and pedestrian bridge near the vehicle bridge. Deleted: The above fist is not a ranked priority list of proposed path expansions and upgrades. While a full ranking needs to be developed, the City has identified certain trail segments that are crucial for developing needed north -south path connections that are divided by majc highways G, G1, G2, I, 11, 12, and 13 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering oHighway 96 - A grade separated trail connection may be needed ata Formatted: Bu112ts and Numbering location between Highway 10 and Lexington Avenue.
