The overall <br />development concept includes land trails for multiple -use as well as <br />canoeing on Rice Creek. <br />The segment through the Twin City Arms Plant is the 'ss' in the <br />entire 14 mile owridor. Since Rice Creek is in integral part of the trail <br />corridor project, no reasonable alternative exists for the completion of the <br />trail. <br />Ramsey County has attempted over the years to secure access through the <br />Arms Plant site; however, the Department of Defense has been unwilling to <br />give serious consideration to their request. This is a case where several local <br />units of government, two counties, and a regional authority (metropolitan <br />Council) have been unable to implement a reasonable plan because of an <br />apparent unwillingness of the Federal Government to seriously consider <br />alternatives. <br />The Friends of St. Paul and Ramsey County Parks would like to secure <br />resolutions from all of the municipalities involved, and both counties, <br />
