All resident', should have reasonable access to Ramsey's trail system with a minimum of thorough-fm'e crossings. Each signifiVant State and County Highway roadway should have, at minimum, a paved shoulder de¢ignated for non-vehicular transportation. Eventually a parallel treadway separated bg curb and boulevard is desired. The City sh~ould establish pedestrian and bicyclist safety as a key priority in its traffic control enfo~'Cement program. The City sh ~0uld aggressively seek development, operations and maintenance funding for trail segments that are of regional importance. The City shquld identify and prioritize those trails serving an important transportational role (i.e.: paralleling Highway #47) to utilize Federal Highway Administration or Minnesota State Aid do[Jla.rs for construction. In existing ~ail corridors, a landscaping program should begin utilizing seedling stock to separate anti buffer adjoining land uses. Each plan will consider providing sight lines to assist the public in monitoring trail activity. All trails received through subdivision platting should be constructed concurrent with the developmeni infrastructure to encourage and expedite trail plan completion.
