<br />Area C: Commercial Trail <br />Area C is within Centerville and is currently zoned commercial. A trail through this area will accommodate <br />pedestrians and bicycles and provide a route to either Main Street to the north or a route to parks to the west by <br />going through area J. It would also provide a route to businesses like the Dairy Queen located in the area. <br /> <br />Area D: Main Street <br />Area D is Main Street, well traveled by automobiles, pedestrians, and bicycles. Pressure for a pedestrian route from <br />downtown Centerville to the developing commercial area by 35E will grow and something will need to be done to <br />protect pedestrians and cyclists. The Minnesota Design Team suggested a phased approach here with areas marked <br />off for pedestrians and bicycles in the interim, and complete separation from automobile traffic in the future. If <br />Main Street is redone, perhaps a trail could be included without affecting existing property owners. If one side had <br />to be chosen, the north side of Main Street appears better for a trail as there is vacant property, a strip mall, and a <br />convenience store on that side of the street. The urgency here is that commercial property is being developed along <br />Main Street and with proper planning. a separate trail could be built in sections as the developments were done. <br />The current supposed trail at the strip mall doesn't seem to have been built to any specifications and will probably <br />have to be rebuilt. . . <br /> <br />Area E: "Sunset Park" Overlookin!! Centerville Lake <br />The Minnesota Design Team suggested this area could be the "Town Square" ofCenterville. A park and pier on <br />Centerville Lake could coexist with a circular trail around Centerville Lake. The sketch in Figure 2 shows one <br />idea. The trail continuing around Centerville Lake also fits with the Anoka County Park plan. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2. Area E, Main Street and Centerville Lake (Design Team Sketch) <br /> <br />Area F: Circular Trail around Centerville Lake <br />The best route for a circular trail around Centerville Lake is on the south side of County 14. Property in and around <br />Waterworks may be developed and a trail could be designed and built with the development. Other property just <br /> <br />54 2 <br />
