Dear Mr. Bear,
Public Works Department
Donald J. Theisen, P.E.
Director
Wayne H. Sandberg, P.E.
Deputy Director/County Engineer
Thank you for your letter regarding the City of Hugo's gratitude and support of the Washington
County Regional Rail efforts to purchase, plan and construct extension of the Hardwood Creek
Regional Trail between 140th Street to 145th Street in the City of Hugo. We are hopeful that
purchase of the property will occur in 2012 and once the Regional Rail Authority has title to the
property, construction and environmental documentation can be completed.
Through the environmental review process, specifically, the determination by the State Historic
Preservation Office that the current rail elevation is or is not an historic feature of the property,
will be crucial in the feasibility of modifying the current rail elevation. Since federal funds are
being used to purchase and construct the trail, the State Historic Preservation Office will need to
comment on the project as required by the National Historic Preservation Act.
As the Washington County Regional Rail proceeds through this process, your city staff will be
notified of the planning efforts and environmental documentation and if the City of Hugo's
generous offer of time and resources will be necessary. Also, in 2012, Washington County
Parks will be preparing a Master Plan for the Hardwood Regional Creek Trail. This plan will
include the complete 10 mile section from Hugo to the county line. We welcome Hugo's
participation in preparation of the plan and will be contacting you in the near future to begin
coordination.
Again, the county appreciates you cooperation and enthusiasm on the extension of the
Hardwood Creek Regional trail project and will keep you informed of the progress on this effort.
Please contact Ann Pung-Terwedo, Senior Planner if you have future comments or questions
on this project.
Sincerely,
0e0wo". 'Sa� Lw�
