Right of Way <br /> <br />SRF No. 0044983 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Ms. Kim Stephan, Park and Recreation Staff Liaison <br />City of Centerville <br /> <br />FROM: Ken Grieshaber, ASLA <br />Associate <br /> <br />DATE: January 26, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: CLEARWATER TRAIL ExTENSION STUDY <br />CENIERVIl.LE, MINNESOTA <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />This study prepared for the City of Centerville examines the feasibility of constructing a <br />trail extension of the existing Clearwater Trail which extends east along the south side of <br />Centerville Lake and terminates approximately one quarter mile east of Centerville Road. <br />The proposed trail connection will continue east to County Road 54 and then extend <br />north along the east side of the road right-of-way. The proposed trail would terminate at <br />County Road 14 and then continue east along the south side right-of-way of <br />County Road 14. The trail would then continue east and connect to the existing <br />Hardwood Creek Trail which extends north out of Hugo. The location of the existing and <br />proposed trail alignment is shown in Figure 1. <br /> <br />The purpose of this study is to evaluate the proposed trail alignment by reviewing <br />wetland impacts, soil suitability and planned roadway, right-of-way and intersection <br />improvements within the trail corridor study area. This study examines the proposed trail <br />alignment within the city limits of Centerville. However, issues are identified which will <br />need to b~ addressed by MnlDOT, Anoka and Washington Counties, as well the cities of <br />Lino Lakes and Hugo. A preliminary cost estimate has also been included with this study. <br /> <br />This study is the first step towards creating a technically sound and feasible alignment <br />plan for the trail corridor. Several important assumptions have been made in the <br />determination of the feasibility of the trail segment based on the information available for <br />this study. <br /> <br />One Carlson Parkway North, Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55447-4443 <br />Telephone (763) 475-0010 · Fax (763) 475-2429. www.srfconsulting.com <br />
