Northeast Metro Trail Plan June 3, 2003 Centerville Park and Recreation, 651-429-3232, Wayne LeBlanc, 651-426-0168 Centerville, Lino Lakes, Hugo, Anoka Parks, Anoka County, Washington County, Ramsey County, and the surrounding Metro area benefit from the trail plan in Figure I. The trails connect the Hugo trail that will apparently go to Duluth to other trails connected to the Chain of Lakes Park and south to Otter Lake Park including a future recreational park at Birch Street and Centerville Road. The trails in and around Centerville are designed to pronwte safe pedestrian and bicycle routes to parks, commercial areas, other trails, homes, and places of interest.

Please contact Centerville or Wayne LeBlanc to coordinate actions. On Sep 25, 2000, people representing Centerville, Hugo, Lino Lakes, Anoka County Parks, St Paul Water, and Washington County Parks met and agreed to pursue this plan. 14 Considerations for particular areas are identified with the large letters and described below. . -" ~ N-~l II ~~ 10 (;i.; . ,~liJ!;' 1 Area A: HUl!o to Pedestrian Bridl!e at 3SE Hugo, Washington County, Lino Lakes, and Anoka County plan to coordinate the route of a trail from the existing Hugo trail to a proposed pedestrian bridge at Area B, where 35E and Clearwater Creek intersect. With Hugo's planned reconstruction of the road from Hugo to Area A in the next couple years, the inclusion of the trail follows naturally. The urgencv here is to include the trail in forthcoming develooments. Hugo is also looking at providing an attractive trail along Clearwater Creek and at least one development has already included it. t__cii ::::::::-"'l~. "'" ~-A~ ..,~'" f" ~"",\,-(l!\ ~r-":'.q.

Trail Plan Area B: Pedestrian Bridl!e at 3SE Area B was chosen for a pedestrian bridge to cross 35E because there are plans in Hugo to provide a trail along Clearwater Creek and because it would more easily accommodate pedestrian traffic than at the automobile intensive freeway interchange at 35E and County Road 14 (Frenchman Road). The urgency here is to control develooment in the surrounding area on both sides of the freewav now to orovide a route for the oedestrian bridge. At the meetinll. everYone thoul!bt this appears feasible. A small section of land westof35E to 20th Ave needs to be coordinated by Lino Lakes, Centerville, and Anoka County. 1
