Agenda Number: <br />CITY OF HUGO <br />PARKS COMMISSION REPORT <br />TO: Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission <br />FROM: Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner <br />SUBJECT: Hardwood Creek Trail Master Plan Draft Review <br />DATE: April 5, 2013 for the Parks Meeting of April 10, 2013 <br />1. INTRODUCTION: <br />Washington County has been master planning the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail <br />Corridor. The Hugo Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission has been asked to <br />comment on a draft of the plan. Washington County Parks Manager Peter Mott will <br />present the Hardwood Creek Trail Master Plan Draft at the Parks Meeting of April 10, <br />2013. <br />The master plan includes the existing trail and proposed trail extensions following the <br />railroad corridor along Highway 61 from the southern border of Hugo and Washington <br />County to the northern border of Forest Lake and Washington County for a total of 12 <br />miles. Because portions of the rail corridor are active and will continue to be in the <br />foreseeable future, local trails in Hugo are important in providing regional trail <br />connections. <br />2. GENERAL UPDATE ON THE TRAIL: <br />In addition to the master planning, there are a few other projects related to the Hardwood <br />Creek Trail. <br />Re -surfacing of Existing Trail: <br />Washington County will be resurfacing the existing County trail from 1456 street to the <br />northern County border. The trail is 9.5 miles long and sees heavy use. Cracks and pot <br />holes are appearing. Washington County has planned in the CIP to use a variety of <br />techniques to repair the trail: crack filling, overlays, and general rebuilding. <br />-1- <br />Hardwood Creek Trail <br />Master Plan Draft <br />April 10, 2013 <br />
