Trail Evaluation <br />TO: City of Hugo Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission <br />FROM: Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner <br />DATE: May 9, 2014 for the Parks Commission Meeting of May 14, 2014 <br />1 INTRODUCTION <br />At the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission meeting of April 23, 2014, the Trail Development <br />Policy was drafted.

The Fox Meadows development is anticipated to be <br />built south of Beaver Ponds. The developer is proposing to upgrade 125th Street from gravel to a rural <br />section roadway, even though the roadway is not within the development. The properties to the north <br />and south of 125th Street are guided for development in the future. At that time, 125th Street would be <br />upgraded to an urban section roadway, which is likely to include an off-road trail. Therefore, a trail <br />improvement to 125th Street as a part of the Fox Meadows development, would be temporary. Land is <br />
