Trailway System Plan - DRAFT 4 north side of County Road J. A right-of-way is thought to exist along the south side of County Road J east of Coral Sea Road. An off-street trail is located east of the 35W bridge leading into Shoreview, connecting to Lexington off-street trailway. MN DoT is planning on having an eight foot wide sidewalk along one side of the Hwy 610 overpass. There is an opportunity for County Road J to be a connector road if trailways were advocated by the participating cities of Mounds View, Blaine and Shoreview. The Rice Creek Corridor will also provide a linkage between Shoreview and Mounds View. New Brighton Connections Trailway connections to the City of New Brighton are offered on an off-street path along Long Lake Road (the Mounds View portion to be completed the summer of 1992). Also, the connections to Silver Lake Road provide a direct arterial route to New Brighton trailways. This proposal accesses Mounds View routes to both Long Lake Road and Silver Lake Road trailways continuing into New Brighton and beyond. Future Old Highway 8 connection will provide opportunities to plan a trailway along Old Highway 8 for a connection to Long Lake Regional Park. The intersection of Old Highway 8, County Road H and Highway 10 will be realigned during the development of the Rice Creek Trailhead project coordinated by Ramsey County. This realignment will provide an opportunity to connect trailways which are recommended in this proposal. Fridley Connections The City of Mounds View connects to the Fridley trailway system along County Road H, County Road H2 and County Road I. All three connectors provide access onto the Fridley trailway system. Spring Lake Park/Blaine Connections Common city boundary trailways have not been indicated by the Cities of Spring Lake Park or Blaine. The future may offer opportunities to establish trailway linkages with a Mounds View and Spring Lake Park and Blaine.
