The trail alignment from our Comprehensive Plan and the location where it would have to go to accomplish this segment is depicted on the enclosed Conceptual Land Use Plan. This segment of trail was always intended to be a long-term goal, before our Town Center plan was conceived. There are two short term solutions that would work for the Town Center. The first is obtaining trail easement through the Gethsemane Methodist Church to the North, West to Lake Drive and following the road easement to the north to Town Center. This would require a fairly wide creek crossing at Lake Drive. This is indicated by the dashed black line on "The City of Lino Lakes Trail Proposal" map. The trail would also most likely necessitate the removal of pine trees at Mr. Rehbeins property. This map was developed as part of a trail grant proposal to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The green areas indicated on the map are the trail grant proposal areas. The second option is indicated on this map. This is the green area that heads to the North from the School along 4th Ave. , through a light-industrial area and crosses Lake Drive at a future access point to Town Center. This trail would not have as difficult of a crossing at the creek, and could be worked into the light- industrial area that is scheduled for development in the near future. I believe that trail segment 1 in our Comprehensive Plan, the 4 .7 miles of transportation trail along Lake Drive should be looked at holistically including the interstate bridge crossing for pedestrians to the north. We are trying to pull together a trails committee meeting for next week to get their input on this matter. OPTIONS 1 . Recommend modifying the Comprehensive Plan to the green shaded area on the "City of Lino Lakes Park Trail Proposal" map. 2. Recommend modifying the Comprehensive Plan to the dashed line alignment in the "City of Lino Lakes Park Trail Proposal" map. This would abandon trail segment 18 along the west side of Marshan Lake, North of the Shores of Marshan, and merging it with trail segment 1 in our Comprehensive Plan via. an easement through the church. RECOHWNDATION 1 .and 2. For the very short-term, recommend the 4th Avenue alignment, and, a change on the east side for the 49 transportation '� trail.
