HARDWOOD CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN <br />TRAIL Sl9fdtLV I NS DL WI. D15(�RIPIt0N .tNU ALIGNMENT IN[-OROI_CIION (1 of 2) <br />SEGMENT DESCRIPTION / OVERALL CHARACTER <br />Heading south through Hugo, the regional trail continues along the abandoned rail corridor. The trail continues through a <br />rural area with a pleasant aesthetic, especially on the northern end. On the southern end, some commercial land uses are <br />found along the trail, with the majority of these being screened with fencing and vegetation. The at -grade crossing of County <br />Road 4 will be improved as part the development of a roundabout associated with Highway 61 improvements, as previously <br />referenced on page 4. An at -grade crossing is also encountered at 165th Street. <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 County Road 4, which is also where the Glacial Hills Regional Trail <br />makes its connection coming from the west. Both the regional and local trail connections are 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 />Looking north at the at -grade crossing at <br />County Road 4. <br />Was, <br />Looking north at the <br />Street, which is more <br />County Road 4. <br />(Above) The intersection <br />of llighway 6/ and <br />County Road 4 is <br />slated for an upgrade, <br />which will include <br />aroundaboutand <br />enhanced trail crossing <br />features/markings. <br />42 <br />
