allows trail users the opportunity to recognize the archaeological history of this area laden with lakes. The overall public safety benefit of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages must also be recognized. At least three modes of transportation will have a reduced chance of conflict with the addition of the pedestrian/bicycle trial. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to safely cross CSAH 14 from one side to the other and motorists will have a reduced chance of hitting these pedestrians and bicyclists while they are doing so. 3. Development Framework Implementation a. Employment, Housing and Transportation Integration The Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework identifies Centerville as a "developing community". Therefore, following are responses consistent with an urban area project. 1) a development with an interconnected system of local streets, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages, while located in the City of Centerville, will also connects via the CSAH 14 trail system to the to the interconnected system of local streets in the City of Lino Lakes and county roads in Anoka County. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will also interconnect with the system of trails in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve and the local in the Cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes. Land uses in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage will be provided a safe connection to downtown Centerville (to the east) and the developing portions of Centerville. Centerville is currently experiencing rapid planning for the development of currently vacant or undeveloped land. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will benefit circulation within the city and complement the existing and planned local street systems. 2) a neighborhood revitalization area. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage will serve the downtown revitalization area in Centerville. The City has received two Community Development Block Grants and created a tax increment financing district to revitalize downtown Centerville at CSAH 14 and Centerville Road. Together with the City sidewalk system, the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages and the trail along CSAH 14 will provide a connection to this area. 3) a redevelopment area of increased intensification and integrated land uses. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will reach a redevelopment area in Centerville. The City has received two Community Development Block Grants and created a tax increment financing district to revitalize the redevelopment area (downtown Centerville) at CSAH 14 and Centerville Road. Land uses in the redevelopment area, whether residential, commercial or retail, will be enhanced by the access to/from the CSAH 14 trail and associated pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages. 8
