<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -3- <br /> <br /> Ramsey County is working on some of the things you are talking about. They are <br /> trying to put together a "Trail Quest" for biking and walking. The difficulty with <br /> GIS is that every City has different codes for their sidewalks, trails, bike lanes, <br /> etc. Ramsey County is working on definitions for cities. This way, when cities <br /> gather their information, it can go into the Ramsey County system. There is an <br /> online program that will test this GIS software and give cities a way to implement <br /> it. <br /> <br /> VII. Announcements <br /> A.
