All residents should have reasonable access to Ramsey's trail system with a minimum of thorough-f~e crossings. Each significant State and County Highway roadway should have, at minimum, a paved shoulder de~signated 'for non-vehicular transportation. Eventually a parallel treadway separated by curb and boulevard is desired. The City should establish pedestrian and bicyclist safety as a key priority in its traffic control enforcement program. The City should aggressively, seek development, operations and maintenance funding for trail segments that are of regional importance. The City should identify and prioritize those trails serving an important transportational role (i.e.: paralleling Highway//47) to utilize Federal Highway Administration or Minnesota State Aid d611ars for construction. In existing trail corridors, a landscaping program should begin utilizing seedling stock to separate and buffer adjoining land uses. Each plan will consider providing sight lines to assist the public in monitoring trail activity. All trails'reoeived through subdivision platting should be constructed concurrent with the development infrastructure to encourage and expedite trail plan completion.
