AGENDA ITEM NO. 10
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 8, 2009
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 09 -34, Approving
JPA with Anoka County for the Construction of
Improvements and Extension of the Rice Creek North
Regional Trail
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
The Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department continues to make progress on
the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Project. Phase I includes a bituminous trail that will
begin at the Lino Lakes Town Center/YMCA development, traverse through the Rice
Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve to Rice Lake Elementary. In addition, a bituminous
trail from the Hodgson Road /Birch Street intersection to Baldwin Park in Circle Pines is
planned to be completed in Phase I (Dependent on actual bids). Phase II consists of
extending the trail from Baldwin Park to Golden Lake Elementary (connecting to the
existing Rice Creek West Regional Trail). See the trail location map attached for
reference.
This trail project is being funded through $1,050,000 in Transportation Enhancement
funds and $525,000 from the Metropolitan Council's Regional Parks and Open Space
Capital Improvement Grant program. The Metropolitan Council is requiring that an
"alternate" route be designated until Phase II is completed. In Lino Lakes, the
designated alternate route is the existing trail along Ware Road (Birch Street to County
Road J). The alternate route continues in Shoreview along the south side of County
Road J westerly to Lexington Avenue.
Updates /enhancements along the alternate route are required to meet current federal
accessibility guidelines. This will include upgraded pedestrian ramps and signage.
(The existing trail along Birch Street from Rice Lake Elementary to Hodgson Road will
also experience upgraded pedestrian ramps). Anoka County will be responsible for all
costs associated with these upgrades.
Attached is the Joint Powers Agreement permitting Anoka County to upgrade the
pedestrian ramps (at no cost to the City of Lino Lakes) as described above.
The Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department expects to have this project out to
bid in July or August with construction beginning sometime in September. Construction
is expected to take approximately two to three months with the trail open for use by the
Spring 2010 season.
