> pedestrian bridge at 35E if that became the only option.) The trail will <br /> > continue straight south from area "K" (St Paul Water easement from Lamotte <br /> > Park south) to get to Otter Lake Park with a spur to "L" (the southeast <br /> > corner of Birch and Centerville Road) on Birch St. <br /> > Anoka County Parks will help to get the new plan into the Met Council <br /> > planning process. <br /> > Hugo, Lino Lakes, Anoka County, and Washington County will plan to provide <br /> > a trail that will run from the existing Hugo trail to a proposed <br /> > pedestrian bridge at 35E and Clearwater Creek. There seems to be several <br /> > options regarding a redirected Highway 8 and certain development plans in <br /> > progress. There may be more than one trail that converges to the 35E and <br /> > Clearwater Creek junction. <br /> Centerville, Lino Lakes, and Anoka County will plan to provide a trail from <br /> Centerville to 35E and Clearwater Creek to join the trail to Hugo via a <br /> pedestrian bridge at that location. <br /> > Mayor Tom Wilharber thought he might be able to find out something about <br /> > the financing and other details of the pedestrian bridge on 610. He also <br /> > thought the City of Centerville engineer might have some information <br /> > regarding the plan. <br /> > Lino Lakes may think about various options to connect other Lino Lakes <br /> > trails existing to the west to the proposed trail running north /south on <br /> > the St Paul Water easement and Birch St. <br /> > St Paul Water has no particular problem with trails on their easement as <br /> > long as the owners (probably the City of Centerville and Lino Lakes) sign <br /> > their agreement. A paved surface is not a problem. Trees are a problem and <br /> > would not be allowed on the easement. Cities should understand that St <br /> > Paul Water might have to repair or otherwise disturb a paved surface if <br /> > there was a problem with their water mains. The Cities would be <br /> > responsible for the repair of the trail. <br /> > The Rice Creek Trails snowmobile organization had an issue with a change <br /> > in a snowmobile route through the Chain of Lakes Park and they are talking <br /> > to Anoka Parks about that issue. <br /> > TIME CRITICAL ACTIONS <br /> > Anoka Parks mentioned that there may be a Met Council meeting in November, <br /> > 2000, regarding trail plans. John VonDelinde, if you would determine <br /> > deadlines, I would try to hit those deadlines with a new proposal. If <br /> > there are any suggested formats or other information necessary, please let <br /> > me know. <br /> Development of property at Waterworks and west of Waterworks may lead to <br /> some time critical planning for a trail there. <br /> > Mention was made that the next opportunity for funding for a pedestrian <br /> > bridge would be 2002. If there are any interim dates of consequence, that <br /> > would be useful. <br /> > If anyone is aware of any grants, property for sale, or other time <br /> > critical events of any kind, please forward the information. Also, if <br /> > there are any further suggestions or ideas, please forward them and I will <br /> > try to coordinate. <br /> > Again, thank you all for attending this meeting!!! Much was accomplished, <br /> > and I believe that, with the power of a common goal, the efficiency of <br /> > email, and a little innovative engineering and financing, we'll see the <br /> > trail interconnections become real. These trails then will provide the <br /> > conduit for communities to share their diverse resources for the <br /> 2 <br />
