CASE # 3'- <br /> <br />CONSIDER METRO GREENWAYS PROGRAM FOR FUNDING A MASTER TRAIL <br /> PLAN <br />-" By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />During 1999 and 2000, the City discussed the merits of a Master Trail Plan. The plan was <br />intended to address all aspects of trails in Ramsey, however the largest opportunity resulting <br />from a comprehensive trail plan may be building momentum for preservation of space or the <br />actual development of the Trott Brook Trail Corridor. <br /> <br />Observation: <br /> <br />As the Commission is aware, the City did not proceed with a Master Trail Plan. The purpose of <br />this case is to introduce the Metro Greenways Program as a potential funding mechanism to <br />achieve the above goal. Staff has not had contact with DNR staff to gauge their views on Metro <br />Greenways suitability for a Master Trail Plan - as it seems as though most projects are more site <br />specific than community wide. Attached is the Greenways site protection nomination packet. <br />Deadline for submittal is January 26, 2001. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend staff submit a Metro Greenways nomination to fund a Master Trail Plan <br />emphasizing the Trott Brook Corridor, contingent upon City-Council approval.. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />P & R: 12/I4/00' <br /> <br />Copies to: <br /> <br />City Council <br />City Administrator <br />Community Development Director <br />Director of Public Works <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br /> <br />
