<br /> Centerville, Lino Lakes, Hugo, Anoka Parks, A.noka 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 Cen#erville Road The trails in and around Centerville are designed to promote
<br /> safe pedestrian and bicycie routes to pazks, commercial areas, other trails, homes, and places of interest. In addition,
<br /> loops in the design enhance fle�bility and appeal.

<br /> . `� :� of the road from Area A to Hugo in
<br /> Figure 1. Trail Plan the ne�rt couple yeats, the inclusion
<br /> of the trail follows naturally. The
<br /> ur�encv here is to include the trail in the forthcomin�reconstruction. Hugo is also looking at the potential of
<br /> providing an attracrive trail along Clearwater Creek all the way to Bald Eagle Lake.
<br /> Area B: Pedestrian Brid�e 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_ur encv here is to control development in
<br /> the_sun area on both sides of the freeway now to vrovide a route for the pedestrian bridge At the meeting,
<br /> eveivone thou�ht tlus avt�ears feasible. There may also be a possibility to request funds for a pedestrian brid�e in
<br /> 2002. A small secrion of land west of 35E to 20� Ave needs to be coordinated by Lino Lakes, Centerville, and
<br /> Anoka County.
