connecting in front of the hotel on Old Hwy 8 and trying to make it look as nice as feasible. • The sidewalk in front of the hotel is what Grant proposed to use. • Grant previously stated that the only thing on the schedule now is the sidewalk out in front of the NBCC. • Grant also stated at an earlier meeting the trail would go on the east of Old Hwy. 8 and go all the way to Hwy. 96. We should also have the trail cross Old Hwy. 8 to connect with the park trail in Long Lake Regional Park. • The only trail on Old Hwy. 8 is on the west side. • The majority of the people using the trail will come from Long Lake Regional Park and then go across I-35W bridge to the Arden Hills trail along Hwy. 96. We should also show the trail on the east side. • There is a trail on the west side of Old Hwy. 8. It goes down Old Hwy. 8 from Applewood Pointe and then down into Long Lake Regional Park. • The Strategic Plan shows the proposed trails. • The trial is 10 feet on the south side and 16 feet on the other side. • On the east side of Hwy. 10 it is a nice asphalt trail and about 10 ft. wide. It would be nice to find a way to connect the New Brighton side with the 10 feet trail that is on the south side of Hwy. 96 in Arden Hills. It looks like, at Round Lake Blvd., on the west side, it appears it is set up for the trail, they just didn't draw the trail in. It appears they are planning to continue the trail on; we just need to let them know what we would like to do. • It should also be considered what the plans are for the bridge going over 694 and also what side the trail would be on. Should the Commission propose trails on the east and west side of Old Hwy. 8? • Should the focus be here because if they end up putting the stadium in Arden Hills, all the plans could change. It may have to change. • The Commission needs to figure out what we want on the New Brighton side with the development going on. • PREC should make our focus formal by making a recommendation to New Brighton City Council and it comes from our Council to MNDOT or Ramsey County, Arden Hills, at least they will be aware that New Brighton is an active participant in all this. • The Hwy. 96 at I-35W is partially a federally funded project. MOTION BY FRISCHMAN, SECONDED BY WEBER, TO RECOMMEND TO THE NEW BRIGHTON CITY COUNCIL TO REQUEST A MUTI-USE TRAIL THAT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE OF THE AREA IN NEW BRIGHTON STARTING ON THE WEST SIDE OF OLD HWY. 8, WITH A PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALK ACROSS OLD HWY. 8 ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HWY. 96 TAKING US ALL THE WAY ACROSS I-35W AND CONNECTING INTO THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED MULTI-USE TRAIL SYSTEM THAT IS ON THE MAP AT ROUND LAKE BLVD. 3
