A trail spur will also extend northerly on the east side of the YMCA to <br />connect to the town home area. Ultimately this trail will connect with future <br />improvements to the Anoka County regional trail system through the Rice Creek Chain <br />of Lakes Park. <br />Through discussion with Anoka County Parks representatives a trail alignment was <br />established that takes advantage of the unique natural areas within the regional park <br />that abuts the Legacy at Woods Edge development. The trail will be constructed and <br />maintained by the City of Lino Lakes. Anoka County has prepared and approved a <br />Joint Powers Agreement to allow for construction of the trail within the regional park <br />boundaries. The agreement also covers existing trail segments previously constructed <br />by the City that extend into the regional park. <br />The extension of the trail system was contemplated with the City's initial design of the <br />Legacy at Woods Edge project. We are anticipating that the project will be bid in mid to <br />late summer. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is recommending approval of the JPA with Anoka County for Construction and <br />Maintenance of Trails on County Property. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Resolution No. 06 -95 <br />2. Joint Powers Agreement <br />
