//46 <br /> Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br /> 7204 Lake Drive <br /> C I T Y, O F Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br /> N KE (651) 780-1885 Fax (651) 784-7227 <br /> February 24, 1999 <br /> TO: Park Board Members <br /> FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> SUBJECT: Trapper's Crossing Trail connection to Birch Park <br /> After considerable discussions with the City Engineer, it appears there is not an alternate trail <br /> location to provide access for the Trapper's Crossing Development to Birch Park. The existing <br /> trail location will result in a 11.3 percent grade which I feel would be an unsafe situation which <br /> could provide liability exposure to the city. <br /> Our guidelines for trail call for a desirable trail gradiance of 0 to 3 percent with a maximum <br /> sustained grade of 8 to 10 percent. <br /> In my opinion we have 2 (two) options: <br /> 1. Do not provide direct trail access to Birch Park <br /> 2. Design trail incorporating steps to provide pedestrian access. <br /> We will discuss this in more detail at the Park Board meeting. <br /> RD:sw <br /> sw/parkbrd/Trapper's Crossing Trail Connection to Birch Park.doc <br />
