HARDWOOD CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN <br />TRAIL SP.CMIiN 1 97 DLIAll, Dk SCRIP'liON AND ALIGNMENT INWRA1ATION (I 0L 2) <br />SEGMENT DESCRIPTION / OVERALL CHARACTER <br />The regional trail continues south through Forest Lake until entering Hugo at 180th Street, still following the abandoned <br />rail corridor. As the aerial illustrates, this continues to be a rural area with the same character and aesthetic appeal as <br />segment 6. The at -grade crossing of Forest Road is the only one in this segment, and is not heavily traveled. An older but <br />structurally -sound trail bridge is provided over Hardwood Creek. The regional trail remains 10 feet wide. <br />DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, CONSTRAINTS AND ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES <br />There are no significant development issues related to the trail itself along this segment. The City of Hugo's trail system plan <br />includes a local trail connection to the regional trail near 180th Street that is appropriate and desirable. <br />RIGHT-OF-WAY AND PRIVATE PROPERTY FACTORS <br />Since the trail already exists, there are no right-of-way issues of significance along this segment. There are also no apparent <br />private property encroachment issues either. <br />Was�gt� <br />.—.� <br />(Left) The existing <br />bridge over Hardwood <br />Creek is functional and <br />structurally sound <br />(Above) The rural <br />setting along this <br />segment is appealing <br />and a nice contrast to <br />the more developed <br />areas in Forest Lake <br />and Hugo. <br />140 <br />0 <br />
