Ramsey County Trail Corridor, Trailhead, and Wildlife Corridor Update <br /> On January 19, 2010, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners reviewed the proposed 150 <br /> foot wide trail corridor along the eastern border of the TCAAP property and the 500 foot wide <br /> trailhead from the Wildlife Corridor to County Road I. The Board unanimously approved the <br /> following actions: - <br /> 1. Approved the following additions to the Rice Creek Regional Trail: a 3 0-acre Rice Creek <br /> South Regional Trail that would be approximately 150 feet wide and connect the <br /> Highway 96 Regional Trail to the Wildlife Corridor and a 29-acre Trailhead Access that <br /> would be approximately 500 feet wide and extend from County Road I to the northern <br /> border of the Wildlife Corridor. <br /> 2. Authorized Ramsey County staff to prepare an amendment to the Rice Creek Regional <br /> Trail Master Plan that incorporates the additional properties from the former Twin Cities <br /> Army Ammunitions Plant. <br /> 3. Authorized staff to seek transfer of these properties from the General Services <br /> Administration to Ramsey County either directly or through a Federal agency sponsor. <br /> 4. Authorized staff to seek Congressional action, if necessary, to facilitate the <br /> environmental remediation and transfer of these properties to Ramsey County for <br /> regional trail purposes. <br /> The Wildlife Corridor was already part of the County's plans, which is why the County did not <br /> include that in their actions. These projects are in accordance with the City's resolution of <br /> support that was passed on December 21, 2009. <br /> Page 2of2 <br />
