2040 Regional Parks System Components <br /> The 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan identifies six components which together comprise the vision for <br /> the Regional Parks System in 2040, as described below. <br /> Existing Regional Parks System Facilities: include Regional Parks System Facilities that are <br /> open for public use. These facilities include land that is owned by regional park implementing agencies, <br /> and may include inholding parcels within the boundaries of these parks and trail corridors that have not <br /> yet been acquired. Existing regional trails may include planned segments that will be developed in the <br /> future. <br /> Planned Regional Parks System Facilities (not yet open to the public): include Regional <br /> Parks System Facilities that have a Council-approved master plan and may be in stages of acquisition <br /> and development, but are not yet open for public use. <br /> Regional Parks System Boundary Adjustments: include general areas identified as potential <br /> additions to existing Regional Parks System Facilities to add recreational opportunities or protect <br /> natural resources. Specific adjustments to park or trail corridor boundaries have not yet been planned. <br /> Regional Park Search Areas: include general areas for future regional parks to meet the <br /> recreational needs of the region by 2040 where the regional park boundary has not yet been planned. <br /> Regional Trail Search Corridors: include proposed regional trails to provide connections between <br /> Regional Parks System facilities where the trail alignment has not yet been planned. <br /> 2040 Regional Trail Search Corridor System Additions: include regional trail search corridors <br /> that were added to the Regional Parks System as part of the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan. <br /> Key Changes in the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan <br /> Adopted by the Metropolitan Council in February 2015, the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan <br /> incorporates the following changes: <br /> Identify all proposed regional trails as regional trail search corridors <br /> All proposed regional trails that are not yet open to the public and do not have a Metropolitan Council <br /> approved master plan are represented as a general regional trail search corridor. The 2030 Regional <br /> Parks Policy Plan depicted these trails with a proposed alignment. The alignment of these regional <br /> trails will be determined in the future through a planning process led by the regional park implementing <br /> agency. The alignment of these trails is subject to Metropolitan Council approval of a regional trail <br /> master plan. <br /> Acquire and develop ten new regional trails or trail extensions to meet the needs of the <br /> region in 2040. The 2040 Regional Trail Search Corridor Additions include: <br /> Carver County: <br /> • County Road 61 <br /> • Highway 41 <br /> Page-33 1 2015 SYSTEM STATEMENT—CENTERVILLE REGIONAL PARKS <br />
