<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
<br /> apparently go to Duluth to other trails connected to the Chain of Lakes Park and south to Otter Lake Park including
<br /> a future recreational park at Birch Street and Centerville Road. The trails in and around Centerville are designed to
<br /> promote safe pedestrian and bicycle routes to parks, commercial areas, other trails, homes, and places of interest.

<br /> Lakes, and Anoka County plan to

<br /> With Hugo's planned reconstruction
<br /> of the road from Hugo to Area A 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 forthcoming developments. Hugo is also looking at providing an attractive
<br /> trail along Clearwater Creek and at least one development has already included it.
<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
<br /> intensive freeway interchange at 35E and County Road 14 (Frenchman Road). The urgency here is to control
<br /> development in the surrounding area on both sides of the freeway now to provide a route for the pedestrian bridge.
<br /> At the meeting, everyone thought this appears feasible. A small section of land west of 35E to 20 Ave needs to be
<br /> coordinated by Lino Lakes, Centerville, and Anoka County.
