PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> March 6, 1989 <br /> meeting of the Lino Lakes Park Board to order. <br /> CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES <br /> Bill Nissen moved to approve the February Park Board minutes <br /> as written . John Bauman seconded the motion . Motion was <br /> approved unanimously. <br /> MASTER TRAIL PLAN - RICH GRAY <br /> Mr. Gray was initially asked to develop a trail system within <br /> the MUSA boundary, but later it was decided that it wasn ' t <br /> feasible, and he took a look at an overall city trail system. <br /> Mr. Gray feels the city should look at linking the city trail <br /> system to Bunker Hills Park, and Carlos Avery Park. <br /> The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Department does have plans <br /> to install a trail system. <br /> Mr . Gray presented a map showing one strong loop within the <br /> city. This "Master Trail" is laid out to use drainage ways <br /> and utility easements that are currently available for use <br /> whenever possible. <br /> He distinguished this master trail as a Class A Trail . Some <br /> characteristics are as follows : <br /> * Top quality status <br /> * Covering available easements <br /> * Passing through undeveloped land <br /> * landscaping <br /> * minimal road crossing <br /> * Tie into trail system within the regional park <br /> Class B Trails are as follows : <br /> * Links to the "Main Trail" <br /> * Off and On the road bikeways <br /> * Link subdivisions to "Main Trail" <br /> Also, trails will link parks and schools to the "Master <br /> Trail" . <br /> Mr. Gray suggested that when Anoka County upgrades Main <br /> Street near Centerville Lake, the City of Lino Lakes should <br /> .� ask for trail easements and right-of-ways from the Metro <br /> Council at that time. Also, if a new bridge is installed <br /> over the freeway a bike path should be part of the bridge. <br /> Mr. Gray stated there are certain grants available for <br /> upgrading of the bridge. <br /> Page 3 <br />
