DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT <br /> 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 a 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. The remaining sections of trail are proposed to be constructed adjacent to the roadways, but <br /> separated by a buffer,similar to Figure 9. <br /> .s ; _ .rte= r <br /> €a-s <br /> PRII <br /> Figure 9 <br /> Since the majority of the trail exists,establishment of the trail in those existing ! <br /> areas will be relatively easy through the installation of new directional and J <br /> way finding signs along the route. Trailhead signs, as <br /> illustrated in Figure 10 are proposed at the major <br /> BUNKER intersections along the trail. Way-finding directional <br /> • . signs, as illustrated in Figure 11, will be posted along <br /> the trail at decision points as well. <br /> Figure 11 The trail is proposed to cross over Interstate 35W at <br /> County Road 53/Sunset Avenue. The current vehicular <br /> bridge is a narrow two lane bridge without any pedestrian accommodations. <br /> Therefore,Anoka County proposes to either include the regional trail into the <br /> bridge reconstruction project when that occurs or construct a separate Figure 10 <br /> Page 10 <br /> 12 <br />
