M E M O R A N D U M <br />Date:10/16/15 <br />To:Brian Erickson, PE <br />From:Mike Warner, PE <br />Subject:CSAH 10 Trail Segments 6 & 11 <br />The City of Mounds View completed a detailed feasibility report as part of the County Road 10 Corridor <br />Improvement Program. The report outlined the improvements to the trail network along County State <br />Aid Highway (CSAH) 10 through the City of Mounds View. The report divided the trail into 11 segments <br />from County Road H to Pleasant View Drive. The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the <br />proposed improvements for Trail Segments 6 and 11 along CSAH 10 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). A <br />preliminary cost estimate for the proposed improvements is also included as part of this report <br />(Appendix A). <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />TRAIL SEGMENT 6 <br />As part of the feasibility report, Trail Segment 6 was identified as the north side of CSAH 10 from Red <br />Oak Drive to Pleasant View Drive. The City recently decided Segment 6 should be shortened as part of <br />this project, and the trail between Groveland Road and Pleasant View Drive would not be constructed at <br />this time. The intersection of Pleasant View Drive and CSAH 10 is the city limits with Spring Lake Park. <br />Currently, Spring Lake Park has no plans to extend a trail along CSAH 10. In addition, the City prepared a <br />Trails and Sidewalks plan as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. This plan shows no other trail and <br />sidewalk connections to CSAH 10 west of Groveland Road. The sidewalk identified in the plan along <br />Groveland Road north of CSAH 10 was recently constructed in fall 2015 as part of the 2015 Street and <br />Utility Improvement Project – Area H. <br />TRAIL SEGMENT 11 <br />As part of the feasibility report, Trail Segment 11 was identified as the south side of CSAH 10 from just <br />west of County Road H2 to Woodale Drive. Segment 11 will fill the gap between the existing bituminous <br />trails at both ends of the segment, resulting in a continuous trail along the south side of CSAH 10 from <br />Silver Lake Road to County Road H. <br />PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS <br />TYPICAL SECTION <br />A 10-foot wide bituminous trail is proposed for both Segments 6 and 11. The pavement section is <br />proposed to be 2.5-inches of bituminous pavement over 6-inches of class 5 aggregate base. This <br />pavement section will match the existing trail sections constructed most recently along CSAH 10. Soil
