The Trail Corridor plans show a <br />trailway continuing through Circle Pines, Shoreview, Arden Hills and Mounds View and continuing along Rice Creek through <br />New Brighton, Fridley and finally connecting to the Mississippi River Trail. The Rice Creek Trail will be a long distance of <br />beautiful scenic areas. The trail is a joint effort between Anoka and Ramsey Counties. A portion of the Rice Creek trail <br />corridor currently passes through the decommissioned Twin City Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). Improvement to County <br />Road H from Interstate 35W to across County Road 10 would ultimately link to the trailway portion which is in Mounds View <br />continuing along Rice Creek. <br />The Mounds View portion of the Rice Creek trail corridor would link the passage through the TCAAP property to New <br />Brighton leading to Long Lake Regional Park. <br /> <br />When the Rice Creek Trail Corridor finally becomes a reality, it is the proposal of the Trailways Advocacy Group that the <br />connecting link to Mounds View trailways routes would be Edgewood Drive, across County Road H. This connector would <br />provide a safe route connecting to Mounds View trailways. <br /> <br />Commented [K4]: Nick: How would we restate this update to a <br />previously (1992) plan? <br />Commented [K5]: Is this still the case? <br />Deleted: The <br />Deleted: lies <br />Deleted: A portion of Rice Creek that follows through the Twin <br />City Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) is currently a hindrance of the <br />project.
