INTRODUCTION: <br />The Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan approved March 15, 2010 by the Hugo City <br />Council proposes locations for trails and sidewalks in the Comprehensive Plan. The <br />Parks Commission included review of the Trails Plan and development of a priority list <br />for trail developments in their 2012 goals. <br />2. CURRENT TRAIL PROJECTS: <br />There are a few trail and sidewalk connections that staff is currently working on. <br />North of Oneka Elementary: <br />Pratt Development put in trail connection between 159a' Street North and the current trail <br />that is located around the ball fields at Oneka Elementary School. There is a trail that <br />runs along the north side of Oneka Elementary that was built by Pratt Development on <br />land that has been dedicated to White Bear Lake Area Schools. A connection may be <br />possible east to Oneka Parkway from where the trail currently leads to a boardwalk/ <br />bridge. <br />As Prairie Village continues to expand, additional trail and sidewalk connections will be <br />planned and developed. <br />Hardwood Creek Trail: <br />Washington County has received a federal grant for the extension of the Hardwood Creek <br />Trail from 140"' to 145th Street. Washington County has also started a public planning <br />process for improvements to the existing trail. The existing trail will also be resurfaced <br />in 2013. <br />-1- <br />Trail Plan Updates <br />November 14,2012 <br />
