4) an existing or proposed center of economic development. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will reach the City of Centerville which is currently experiencing the development of vacant land along CSAH 14. The City views this development as an expansion of the existing economic center. 5) a center of development on a transit way or a high volume transit facility. The trail along CSAH 14 and the associated pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will benefit development along a high-volume transit way. The transit service along the 1- 35E corridor reaches into the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul as well as the greater Metropolitan Area. Transit demand for this area is only anticipated to increase with current development plans for Centerville. As identified by the Metropolitan Council, the City of Centerville is a "developing" city. 6) a brownfield revitalization project. The project will not serve or benefit a brownfield revitalization area. 7) Access between housing and employment. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will proVide access between the area's residential land uses, which are primarily comprised of single family homes, and employment. As the City of Centerville responses to increased housing demands in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including an increased demand for life-cycle housing, the trail and associated pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will provide a connection between housing and employment centers in downtown Centerville and along the 1-35E corridor. The connection to the 1-35E corridor also provides a connection between housing and employment, including employment in a broader segment of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. 8) Access to existing or planned affordable or life-cycle housing development. Access to existing or planned affordable or life-cycle housing development will be met with the proposed project. The City of Centerville has the opportunity to respond to the housing demand with the development of vacant land just beyond Main Street (CSAH 14) in downtown Centerville. 4. Maturity of the Project Concept The proposed project has developed to the stage of preliminary design with plans being coordinated with the 2006 to 2007 construction plans for CSAH 14. A preliminary design for the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages, have been prepared by the City of Centerville. The design for the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages have been reviewed by the city's park and recreation committee as well as the city council. 9
