monetarily, then at least in terms of pedestrian access to recreation and areas beyond <br />your neighborhood. <br />As mentioned above, Ramsey secured $388,000 in Federal funding to supplement the <br />Park Trust fund for construction of the Mississippi River Trail. The trail will be built <br />and available to you before the end of 2013. <br />When the funding was applied for, the City was aware that No Parking would be <br />needed along one side of Rivlyn Avenue, Tungsten Street and a segment of Riverdale <br />Drive - until such time a separated trail or sidewalk may be built. (The City would <br />need to narrow the streets in these areas to provide for the separated trail, which will be <br />examined later in 2013.) However, during the engineering for this project and the <br />preparation of the plans and specifications for Federal approval, it was learned that on - <br />street bike lanes will be required in both directions on the west 1,300' feet of Riverdale, <br />and also Tungsten Street, and therefore, a No Parking condition will need to be <br />implemented in these areas. <br />Attached is an exhibit that shows in red the area that will serve as on -street bike lanes <br />and covered by the No Parking restrictions on one, or both sides of these city streets. It <br />is my sincere hope that any inconvenience to you from the No Parking zones is far off- <br />set by the value and convenience this new trail in your neighborhood brings. <br />Also enclosed with this letter is an exhibit that shows the larger scope of the Mississippi <br />River Trail within Ramsey. <br />Please call on me for additional detail or questions at 763 238 1733 or at <br />mriverblood@ci.ramsey.mn.us . Thank you for your time, attention, and hopefully your <br />enthusiasm for the new trail connections coming to your neighborhood. <br />Yours in Public Service, <br />Mark Riverblood <br />Parks & Asst. Public Works Superintendent <br />
