Bill Sanders quickly reviewed trail location. McGraw asked <br />TRAIL if the portion of the trail through the City of St. Paul has regional trail <br />status. Sanders replied that it did. With regard to the portion of trail <br />through Little Canada, there are existing sections of trail that would need <br />to be upgraded in order to meet regional trait status, and new sections that <br />would have to be constructed. Sanders suggested that the County be <br />approached to see if they will take over this project. With the County <br />taking the lead on the project, it would be more likely to gain regional trail <br />
