HARDWOOD CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN <br />TRAIL SEGMENT #10 DETAIL DESCRIPTION AND ALIGNMENT INFORMATION (1 OF 2) <br />SEGMENT DESCRIPTION / OVERALL CHARACTER <br />The regional trail enters the core of the developed area along Highway 61 around 150th Street as it continues south through <br />Hugo along the abandoned rail corridor. A number of at -grade crossing are encountered, with the ones at 147th and County <br />Road 8 providing enhanced crosswalk features and markings. There is an existing regional trailhead at 145th Street, where <br />the existing trail ends. Hugo City Hall just north of this area also provides trailhead-type facilities and overflow parking with <br />direct access to the regional trail. <br />DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, CONSTRAINTS AND ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES <br />Starting at 147th Street, the proposed <br />extension of the regional trail begins <br />following the same abandoned rail <br />corridor. This segment is expected to be <br />purchased by WCRRA, and available for <br />trail development thereafter. The City of <br />Hugo's trail system plan includes a local <br />trail connection at 147th Street, which <br />is appropriate and desirable. An already <br />developed segment of the Glacial Hills <br />Regional Trail corridor connects to this <br />regional trail at County Road 8, where <br />it heads west to link up with the Anoka <br />County regional trail system. <br />RIGHT-OF-WAY AND PRIVATE <br />PROPERTY FACTORS <br />With the acquisition of the abandoned <br />rail corridor between 145th and 140th <br />Streets, there are no right-of-way issues <br />of significance along this segment. There <br />are also no apparent private property <br />encroachment issues either. <br />(Above) The existing <br />regional trail ends at <br />145th Street. From here <br />down to 140th Street <br />the proposed trail will <br />continue to follow the <br />same rail corridor <br />alignment. <br />Looking north at the access trail from Hugo City <br />Hall to the regional trail. regional trail just north of 145th Street. <br />Washington <br />� County Trail Connection Cont.
