Section 3 — Regional Trail Master Plan <br />Signage along the regional trail to identify and promote local business <br />districts or destinations will be limited to general wayfinding and <br />directional signs. To avoid sign clutter and inconsistent information <br />as businesses change, signs identifying specific businesses will not be <br />allowed. <br />LANDSCAPE <br />ENHANCEMENTS ALONG <br />TRAIL CORRIDOR <br />Compli-.v11 auvStuntIsc.trr. <br />N;un.tnt r.va.vts <br />In select locations, enhancing the character <br />of the trail corridor by incorporating it into <br />local streetscape improvement projects will <br />be encouraged. Enhancements that would <br />complement the trail include ornamental <br />lighting, enhanced landscaping, and extra <br />benches in locations where the trail runs <br />through areas being improved. These <br />opportunities are most likely to occur in the <br />downtown areas of Hugo and Forest Lake, <br />as well as near major intersections along the <br />Highway 61 corridor. <br />The streetscape enhancements along County <br />Road 8 in Hugo exempla how local roadway <br />improvement projects can be used to enhance the <br />trail experience. <br />Overall, a natural landscape design approach will continue to be the <br />main theme used along most sections of trails. The primary exception <br />to this is in developed downtown areas, where a more ornamental <br />streetscape design theme may be used. In Forest Lake, landscaping <br />along the trail will also be consistent with the themes defined in the <br />TI 161 planning study. Any provisions in the lease agreement with the <br />WCRRA as related to landscape enhancements within the corridor will <br />also be adhered to as landscape improvements are made over time. <br />landscape character will prevail. <br />landscape approach may be used consistent <br />with the character oj'the immediate area. <br />61 <br />
