Area C: Commercial Trail Area C is within Centerville and is currently zoned commercial. A trail through this area will accommodate pedestrians and bicycles and provide a route to either Maio Street to the north or a route to parks to the west by going through area J. It would also provide a route to businesses like the Dairy Queen located io the area. This road, 20" Ave, is will likely become very busy and a trail will be needed for the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. It also connects to a route north, Area N. Area D: Main Street Area D is Main Street, well traveled by cars, pedestrians, and bicycles. Pressure for a pedestrian route from downtown Centerville to the developiog commercial area by 35E will grow and something will need to be done to protect pedestrians and cyclists. Anoka County has plans and F ederaI funding to widen Main Street in the next few years ioto 4 lanes (possibly 3 lanes ioitially with remarkiog to 4 lanes later. A trail should be iocluded io this reconstruction. The current strip malls constructed trails that do not follow trail specifications. If one side had to be chosen, the north side of Maio Street appears better for a trail as there is vacant property, a strip mall, and a convenience store on that side of the street. The Uflzencv here is to coordinate trails andlor nedestrian ways with the road reconstruction. Area E: "Sunset Park" Overlookinl! CenterviUe Lake The Minnesota Design Team suggested this area could be the "Town Square" of Centerville. A park and pier on Centerville Lake could coexist with a circular trail around CenterviIle Lake. The sketch io Figure 2 shows one idea. The trail continuiog around Centerville Lake also fits with the Anoka County Park plan. .t1~Jf1fJ. F~~ '-=1f~'" 'II v- " '.-:l":(:~ /., ,(:.:, ',.........., ~ t'".-." ,.t.....

Area E, MaiD Street and Centerville Lake (Design Team Sketch) Area F: Circnlar Trail around Centerville Lake A circular route around CenterviIle both fits with Anoka Park plans and people's desire to access Anoka Park resources from both directions. On County 14, the best route seems to be on the south side of County 14. Property io and around Waterworks will likely be developed and a trail could be designed and built with that development. The Shores property between the park entrance and Centerville already has taken a trail ioto account. Note that a combioation fishiog pier walkway io Centerville Lake just west of Waterworks would keep the trail separate from the road and also provide great fishiog. 2
