<br /> Centerville Park and Recreation, 651429 -3232,
<br /> Wayne LeBlanc, 651426 -0168
<br /> Centerville, Lino Lakes, Hugo, Anoka Parks, Anoka County, Washington County, Ramsey County, and the
<br /> surrounding Metro area benefit from the trail plan in Figure 1. The trails connect the Hugo trail that will eventually
<br /> go to Duluth to other trails connected to the Chain of Lakes Park and south to Otter Lake Park including a future
<br /> recreational park at Birch Street and Centerville Road. The trails in and around Centerville are designed to promote
<br /> safe pedestrian and bicycle routes to parks, commercial areas, other trails, homes, and places of interest. In addition,
<br /> loops in the design enhance flexibility and appeal.
<br /> '� r The purpose of this plan is to
<br /> '" #' 1 ` coordinate the participating
<br /> organizations. Please contact
<br /> h ;- �, ; F� " ' � � � Centerville or Wayne LeBlanc to
<br /> coordinate actions.

<br /> ,,� „� 1 � ; � ®' Hugo, Washington County, Lino
<br /> _ Lakes, and Anoka County plan to
<br /> I' ; 10° I, t " 1 coordinate the route of a trail from

<br /> ' � _ t" ,� j
<br /> �� � . " pedestrian bridge at Area B, where
<br /> e t , 1 s s J in id 35E and Clearwater Creek intersect.
<br /> r1 .,F With Hugo's planned reconstruction
<br /> of the road from Area A to Hugo in
<br /> Figure 1. Trail Plan the next couple years, the inclusion
<br /> of the trail follows naturally. The
<br /> urgency here is to include the trail in the forthcoming reconstruction. Hugo is also looking at the potential of
<br /> providing an attractive trail along Clearwater Creek all the way to Bald Eagle Lake.
<br /> Area B: Pedestrian Bridge at 35E
<br /> Area B was chosen for a pedestrian bridge to cross 35E because there are plans in Hugo to provide a trail along
<br /> Clearwater Creek and because it would more easily accommodate pedestrian traffic than at the automobile intensive
<br /> freeway interchange at 35E and County Road 14 (Frenchman Road). The urgency here is to control development in
<br /> th e3wrounding area on both sides of the freeway now to provide a route for the pedestrian bri dge At the meeting
<br /> everyone thought this appears feasible. There may also be a possibility to request funds for a pedestrian bridge in
<br /> 2002. A small section of land west of 35E to 20` Ave needs to be coordinated by Lino Lakes, Centerville, and
<br /> Anoka County.
