Also, it is not <br /> certain that a trail along Centerville Road would be considered eligible for this reimbursement. <br /> • The City of Lino Lakes has stated that, for a variety of reasons, they do not plan on pursuing the <br /> construction of a trail along their segment of this project (Birch St. to Centerville's southern City <br /> Limits). This means that an extension of a trail along CSAH 21 in Centerville's portion of the project <br /> would likely terminate with a dead end. <br /> Weighing all of these factors, if a segment of trail is to be constructed, it should be one of high priority, with <br /> a significant benefit to the safety and convenience of the public. The existing trail crossing between Hunter's <br /> Trail and Dupre Road is one which the County does not wish to perpetuate. If a trail was constructed along <br /> the east side of Centerville Road, between this crossing and the trail crossing at Meadow Lane, it may offer <br /> an alternative to trail users wishing to cross at a safer, better marked location. However, forcing people to <br /> use this alternative could be difficult. The council should weigh the pros and cons of the construction of this <br /> segment. Other segments do not appear to offer enough benefit at this time, to justify the added expense. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES, INC. <br /> 100 � <br /> Mark Statz, PE <br /> City Engineer <br /> 651 - 604 -4709 <br /> Attachments; Marked up portions of the County's Draft Plan <br /> i <br />
