Unfortunately due Lo limited railroad right-of-way, <br /> safety clearance requirements between pathway and the existing railroad, obstacles, <br /> and limited funding,we were unable to construct it aL that time. <br /> An alternative pathway connection runs along the east boulevard of Walnut down to <br /> Terminal Road/County Road B'2. The B'2 pathway extends all the way LoLexington <br /> Avenue. <br /> Here isa link Lo the City's Pathway Map: hLLp://vvww.ci.rosevi||e.mn.un/index.aspx?N|D=1274 <br /> This connection is included in the City's Pathway Master plan. However, aL this time <br /> there isnofunding available. Also, many of the Railroad issues will not go away aslong <br /> as there isan active line on that track. <br /> Thank you very much for your thoughts about the City's pathway system. Let me know <br /> if you have any additional questions. <br /> City ofRoseville <br /> Debra M.
