area. Also consider using lighting that shines down and reduces light pollution (See the sample light picture in Figl, above B. Don't use globes or lanterns for example.) The urgency here is to control development now so a pedestrian and bicycle friendly area is created. Developers would get something unique and everyone would benefit. Area C: Main Street The Minnesota Design Team in a report to Centerville suggested Main Street be an urban conduit from a downtown Centerville village by the lake to a commercial section by the freeway in area B. There are already plenty of people and bicycles on the shoulders of Main Street in the summer demonstrating that analysis is correct. The north side of Main Street is the best place for a trail as there is vacant property, a strip mall, and a convenience store on that side of the street. The one house that is close to the street may be torn down and a business put there, so as it develops into a more commercial street, construction for sections of the trail are possible. The urgency here is that the strip mall will be required toput in a walkway soon and this sidewalk should be consistent with a long -term plan for the trail along all of Main Street. Area D: "Sunset Park" Overlooking Centerville Lake The Minnesota Design Team saw this area as the "Town Square" of Centerville. A park and pier on Centerville Lake could coexist with a circular trail around Centerville Lake. The sketch in Figure 2 shows the intersection. The trail continuing around Centerville Lake also fits with the Anoka County Park plan.
