<br />A.rea 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 soon be developed. Other prapert>J just south of~.1ound Trail on County 14 may also be <br />developed at some point, and when that happens, a trail could.be designed and built with the development. The <br />urgency here is to establish the specifications for the trail so that development of the areas is done consistent with <br />the inclusion of a trail as shown. <br /> <br />Are2 G: WaJ'2o Nature Center <br />Anoka County Parks already has a plan to construct a trail from area H to the Wargo Nature Center in phase 2 of <br />their park plan. <br /> <br />Area H: Trail Connections <br />Area H shows the Anoka Chain of Lakes trail connecting to Lino Lakes to the west and eventually connecting to <br />other trails that will fUll throughout the Metro area and beyond! <br /> <br />Area I: Lamotte Park to Main Street. and St Paul Water Property <br />The largest park in Centerville is Lamotte Park located in Area I. A connection from Lamotte Park to Anoka Park <br />has just been completed and is in heavy use. To complete the Centerville Lake loop, a trail is needed from Lamotte <br />Park to Main Street. Just to the north of Lamotte Park is church property which offers potential (or a trail offt1}e <br />road. In addition, the streets by the church offer potential to be closed off to auto traffic offering a trail free of <br />automobiles (in addition to a nice pedestrian space). At Area I, the St Paul Water Utility has property that may come <br />up for sale in a couple years. This area, being right across the street from Lamotte Park would make a great <br />lakeshore park and pier, possibly jointly owned by Centerville and Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Area J: Centerville Trail South <br />A current easement through Area J is perfect for a trail to be constructed as this land is developed. A trail from I to <br />Centerville Road was just completed. This would complete a loop through the heart of Centerville. <br /> <br />Area K. L. and M: Water Utility Easement Trail to Future Lino Lakes Recreational Park <br />Area K has a St Paul Water Utility easement that could provide a trail between Lamotte Park and a future Lino <br />Lakes Recreational area at Area L. St Paul Water Utility would allow such a trail with certain conditions. This trail <br />cou1~ continue south on the Water Utility easement to parks and trails to the south, and the advantage is the trail is <br />separate from the road. A wildlife area offers potential at Amelia Lake, in addition. <br /> <br />Summarv <br />As a follow on to the Minnesota Design Team visit in Centerville, a "Trails, Parks, and Lakes" committee formed <br />and considered numerous alternatives. The plan described is the result of a year's worth of citizen discussions and <br />participation and another year of coordination with surrounding communities. The plan fits well with the existing <br />plans of surrounding communities and governmental units. CenterviIle, Hugo, Lino Lakes, Anoka County, and <br />Washington County are poised to provide a fabulous trail system that would benefit everyone. <br /> <br />Contact the City ofCenterville, 651-429-3232 or Wayne LeBlanc, 651-426-0168 for further details. <br /> <br />3 <br />
