I wish to inform you that I <br /> have submitted a LAWCON grant for matching funds for the connection of trail from <br /> the sidewalk break along Silver Lake Road into Silver View Park connecting to the <br /> parking lot leading to the County Road I sidewalk. This is a missing link that hinders <br /> the grand Silver Lake Road sidewalk to the County Road I connection linking <br /> Downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul through the northern suburbs. <br /> The administrators of the LAWCON grant have already inspected the site. The project <br /> meets all the criteria of the grant and was a worthy request according to their <br /> comments. The bad news is that over 43 grant requests were made totaling $4 million <br /> dollars with only a little over $200,000.00 available in grant monies. Funding will be <br /> determined on the merit and worth of all the other projects. I am keeping my fingers <br /> crossed on this one. <br /> I have given Ric Minetor, City Engineer the list of roads that the TAG group wishes to <br /> have lined with a trailway. The City is again negotiating with Ramsey County to <br /> perform the street lining this Fall. Ric has assured me that he will request that the <br /> County also stripe a trailway on the roads that were indicated. The project has not <br /> begun yet and a date could not yet be given to me as to a starting time. I am trying to <br /> patiently wait on this, but I am eager to see our first trailway stripes on any road in <br /> Mounds View to indicate "the beignning" of on-street trailways. <br /> There is no other news regarding trailways other than a resolution which was requested <br /> by the Friends of the Parks organization. This group is a County advocate for the <br /> purchase of abandoned railroads for the Burlington Northern Trailway Corridor, leading <br /> to outstate Minnesota from Minneapolis and St. Paul. A copy of the resolution is <br /> enclosed. <br /> • <br /> e PRINTED WITHvY <br /> 3<9SOYINK_ 2401 Highway 10 • Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 <br />
