Three segments ofthis sidewalk have been constructed along Larpenteur Avenue since the <br />development of the 1997 plan. The segments are Hamline to Oxford (2000), Galtier to <br />Rice Street (2001) and Oxford to Reservoir Woods (2003). The segment ofLarpenteur <br />between Reservoir Woods Park and Galtier still does not have an off -road facility. <br />• Lexington Avenue Pathway <br />This is the main north /south spine of the City. The corridor consists of both bituminous <br />path and concrete sidewalk running from LarpenteurAvenue north through Roseville and <br />into Shoreview. Shoreview's development ofthis pathway corridor provides a wonderful <br />opportunity to create a regional north south link <br />• Roselawn/ Reservoir Woods/ McCarrons Pathway <br />This off -road trail was identified in the 1997 plan and constructed in 2000 using Federal <br />funds. It follows Roselawn from Lexington Avenue through Reservoir Woods Park under <br />Dale Street toMcCarrons Blvd. This pathway then continues along both North and South <br />McCarrons Blvd to connect to Rice Street. <br />• Rice Street Path <br />This is an important north south link from Roseville to St. Paul. The corridor has a <br />bituminous path of varying width and condition. This is a critical feeder to the Trout <br />Brook County Trail atMcCarrons Park. The Trout Brook Trail connects to the Gateway <br />State Trail. <br />User Groups <br />Users differ widely in their means oftravel, ability and preference for travel environment.
