City of Blaine and one in the City of Lino Lakes. The trail provides easy access from the surrounding <br /> residential areas to the various restaurants,businesses and retail establishments in the cities. <br /> Figures 8 illustrates the development concept for this trail. <br /> The trail is proposed to be an 8 to 10 foot wide paved off-road trail. Where space is an issue,the trail may be <br /> separated from the roadway through grade differentiation,by placing the trail behind a six inch curb in more <br /> urban type settings where space is a premium or by creating a grade separated buffer between the trail and <br /> roadway in more rural type settings. The width of the buffer would depend on the speed and type of the <br /> roadway. <br /> I I� <br /> \\ I <br /> Figure 9 <br /> Since the majority of the trail exists,establishment of the trail in those existing areas will be relatively easy, <br /> through the installation of new directional and way finding signs along the route. The remaining sections of <br /> trail will be constructed adjacent to the road but separated by a buffer,similar to Figure 9. <br /> The trail is proposed to cross over Interstate 35W at County Road 53/Sunset Avenue. The current vehicular <br /> bridge is a narrow two lane bridge without any pedestrian accommodations. Therefore, Anoka County <br /> proposes to either include the regional trail into the bridge when the bridge is reconstructed or construct a <br /> separate pedestrian bridge over Interstate 35W to provide safe crossing over the freeway. Refer to Figure 10 <br /> for example of a pedestrian bridge/overpass. <br /> Page 10 <br />
