Anoka County is currently in the prdcess <br />of developing the master plan for funded improvements in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional <br />Park Reserve. One of the main components of our plan is to construct a paved traHway sy$tem <br />that will link to vital areas adjacent to the City of Centerville and the City of Uno Lakes. This <br />trail way system will allow the communities to have access to a significant public recreation fatility <br />which incl.tldes the Chain of Lakes}" Chomonix Golf Course and the Wargo Nature Center.' We <br />expect to begin construction in late 1999. <br /> <br />Due to our funding constraintsl Anoka County is only able to bring the paved trailway system to <br />the southwest corner of CentervHle/s LaMotte Park. If the City IS able to secure funding to link their <br />local trail connections to the Rice Creek Regional Park ReserVel this will provide direct access for <br />over 3000 perSons living in the immediate vicinity. Many thousands of others from the northern <br />metropolitan area will benefit from the trail connection between the regional park and {ocal <br />community trails. <br /> <br /> <br />. au will look favorably on this grant application. If you have any questionsl please feel <br />ct me at 612~757-3920. <br /> <br />Jo n VonDeUnde <br />Dr ector of Parks and Recreation <br /> <br />SD <br /> <br />Affirmative Action I Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
