A rea F: Circular Trail around Centerville Lake <br /> The best route for a circular trail around Centerville Lake is on the south side of County 14. Property in and around <br /> Watenvorks may sgort be developed. °tber property just south of Mound Trail on County 14 may also be <br /> developed at some point, and when that happens, a trail could be designed and built with the development The <br /> urgency here is to establish the spec for the trail so that development of the areas is done consistent with <br /> the inclusion of a trail as shown. <br /> Area G: Warne Nature Center <br /> Anoka County Parks already has a plan to construct a trail from area H to the Wargo Nature Center in phase 2 of <br /> their park plan. <br /> Area H: Trail Connections <br /> Area H shows the Anoka Chain of Lakes trail connecting to Lino Lakes to the west and eventually connecting to <br /> other trails that will run throughout the Metro area and beyond! <br /> Area I: Lamotte Park to Main Street. and St Paul Water Property <br /> The largest park in Centerville is Lamotte Park located in Area I. A connection from Lamotte Park to Anoka Park <br /> has just been completed and is in heavy use. To complete the Centerville Lake loop, a trail is needed from Lamotte <br /> Park to Main Street. Just to the north of Lamotte Park is church property which offers potential fora trail off the <br /> road. In addition, the streets by the church offer potential to be closed off to auto traffic offering a trail free of <br /> automobiles (in addition to a nice pedestrian space). At Area I, the St Paul Water Utility has property that may come <br /> up for sale in a couple years. This area, being right across the street from Lamotte Park would make a great <br /> Lakeshore park and pier, possibly jointly owned by Centerville and Lino Lakes. <br /> Area J: Centerville Trail South <br /> A current easement through Area J is perfect for a trail to be constructed as this land is developed. A trail from I to <br /> Centerville Road was just completed. This would complete a loop through the heart of Centerville. <br /> Area K. L. and M: Water Utility Easement Trail to Future Lino Lakes Recreational Park <br /> Area K has a St Paul Water Utility easement that could provide a trail between Lamotte Park and a future Lino <br /> Lakes Recreational area at Area L. St Paul Water Utility would allow such a trail with certain conditions. This trail <br /> • could continue south on the Water Utility easement to parks and trails to the south, and the advantage is the trail is <br /> separate from the road. A wildlife area offers potential at Amelia Lake, in addition. <br /> Summary <br /> As a follow on to the Minnesota Design Team visit in Centerville, a "Trails, Parks, and Lakes" committee formed <br /> and considered numerous alternatives. The plan described is the result of a year's worth of citizen discussions and <br /> participation and another year of coordination with surrounding communities. The plan fits well with the existing <br /> plans of surrounding communities and governmental units. Centerville, Hugo, Lino Lakes, Anoka County, and <br /> Washington County are poised to provide a fabulous trail system that would benefit everyone. <br /> Contact the City of Centerville, 651- 429 -3232 or Wayne LeBlanc, 651- 426 -0168 for further details. <br /> 3 <br />
