Transportat ion 84 discussions with local agency staff. The designated RBTN alignments are based on local bicycle plans and in many cases (particularly in the core cities) already exist in some form and may need little or no improvement for the regional network. Other designated alignments have not been developed and are based on planned on-street and off-road route alignments or other factors as discussed with local agency staff. Several RBTN alignments have been identified in the City (see Figure 6-1): » Highway 96 W (Tier 1): The proposed east-west corridor links the City of New Brighton, Arden Hills, and Shoreview. The small portion of this route that falls within New Brighton provides a connection over the I-35 W/Hwy 10 interchange, and leads to connections of the employment corridor of Old Highway 8. This route corresponds with City and County trail plans. » Rice Creek West (Tier 2): This corridor provides a regional connection along Rice Creek, connecting the cities of Fridley, New Brighton, Arden Hills, and Mounds View. The corridor follows the existing regional trail and looks to provide a connection at the north of Long Lake Regional Park, which corresponds with City and County trail plans Several Tier 1 corridors have also been identified in east and south New Brighton The City will utilize these corridors as a foundation No Change N/A N/A N/A Transportat ion 84 Regional Trail Search Corridors The RBTN is further supported by Regional Trail Search Corridors, which include proposed regional trails to provide connections between Regional Parks System facilities where the trail alignment has not yet been planned. The Regional Trail Search Corridors within New Brighton are shown in Chapter 5. Both the RBTN and the Regional Trail Search Corridors will serve as the foundation for the future Master Trails Plan. Potential trail enhancements that may have significant benefits for the community include connecting the regional trail system in Long Lake Regional Park to Hanson Park; working with the railroads to explore the possibility for creating trails within their right-of-way; and building connections between New Brighton and the downtown Minneapolis employment corridors.

Connected Ramsey Communities Network The Ramsey County-wide Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan establishes the Connected Ramsey Communities Network as a framework for planning, prioritizing, and designing the countywide active transportation network. Ramsey County municipalities came together to build this network from local facilities and plans. When fully developed, it will connect people with desirable destinations throughout the city and county with high-quality, long-distance, and connector routes. The plan includes a set of tools, analyses, and actions to engage communities in creating a place where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can safely and comfortably walk and bike in their daily lives. The map, "Connected Ramsey Communities Network - New Brighton", shows the planned and existing Major Countywide Bicycle Corridors, Countywide Connectors, and local bikeways in New Brighton. "Connected Ramsey Communities Network - Ramsey County" shows the entire network throughout the county. Bikeway facilities shown on these maps include off- street trails on-street bike lanes and paved shoulders Addition Made Transportat ion 84 " Are you going to have designated bike paths if possible?
