Trailway System Plan – DRAFT April 2012 <br />3 <br />Mounds View is located in the middle of the long Rice Creek trail corridor, having the route to Centerville Chain of Lakes in <br />one direction and the Mississippi River Trail connection in the other direction. For this reason, Mounds View will benefit <br />from the completion of these exciting trailways. <br /> <br />Ramsey County Connections <br />Ramsey County trail connections include a route to downtown St. Paul. The City of Shoreview has developed and continues <br />to expand upon their trailways system. The City of Mounds View currently has a link to their system on County Road I. This <br />trail connects to Highway 49 (Hodgson Rd which then becomes Rice St. at Hwy 96). Ramsey County proposes that both <br />Lexington Avenue and Rice Street become routes to downtown St. Paul. The roadways in Shoreview already provide either a <br />bikelane or off street trail on both streets. Once in St. Paul, many options are available for routes to Ramsey County <br />trailways and parks, including plans for the Burlington Northern Trailway Corridor. <br /> <br />Trailway Connection to Minneapolis <br />Mounds View also has the opportunity to connect onto trailways leading to downtown Minneapolis. The connection to Silver <br />Lake Road offers an off street sidewalk all the way to County Road D, entering the City of St. Anthony and connecting to <br />Highway 88. At this point, many routes to downtown Minneapolis can be pursued along residential routes. <br /> <br />The Mounds View connection to this lengthy Silver Lake Road route to Minneapolis is using the Long Lake/County Road H <br />connector or the Groveland/Knollwood/Pleasant View Dr. route (or the many connectors in between). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Deleted: Trail <br />Deleted: Corridor
