Mr. Charlie Lehn, Public Works Director, stated that he had completed an assessment of the city’s trail and categorized them as being “poor to very poor”. He reported that several trails within the community were part of the Anoka County Regional Trail System and advised the council that the Metropolitan Council had an Active Transportation Grant that may assist in offsetting construction costs associated with trails. Public Works Director Lehn reviewed the presented Options with Council; following lengthy discussion, council concurred that Project A should be utilized with the removal of the proposed reclaim, shape and th pavement portion of the trail that runs along 20 Avenue and slate it for sealcoat and crack seal due to future Anoka County reconstruction and the removal of the proposed reclaim, shape and pave to the trail that runs alongside the western edge of Centerville that abuts the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park as it is part of the County’s Regional trail. The newly proposed trail project would cost approximately $604,000 and be contained in the grant application with Metropolitan Council as roadways did not meet requirements for the grant. 3. 2050 Comprehensive Plan – Firm Selection Administrator Lewis stated that the city received two proposals (WSB and Bolton & Menk).

She stated that this would replace the current crossing that exists on Centerville Road near the trail crossing (trail from Dupre Road to Beaver Pond Way). She stated that there have been discussions with Anoka County and potential for this project either in 2026 or 2027. She explained that the County was interested in completing a combined project that would require a Joint Powers Agreement. She also stated that if the project was completed this year, it would not allow for bid reductions due to projects already planned for by the County, which did not include this work.
