This trail is also a designated part of the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) <br />system. The northern terminus of this trail at 54th Street and Hiawatha Avenue is within <br />one-half mile of the light rail station at the VA Medical Center. Currently, the trail is <br />outdated and badly in need of repair. The existing 8' trail width is below existing <br />standards for a bike/pedestrian shared use trail. The trail would be constructed to a 10' <br />width, paved, with 2' shoulders. Nearly 1.4 miles of protective barriers would be <br />required in areas where steeps side -slopes and natural ravines are encountered. Three <br />bridge crossings would be constructed. The DNR and MISS would jointly plan, design and <br />engineer the project. The DNR would provide its matching fund amounts from state <br />appropriations and/or in -kind services. <br />Print Mississippi River Companion <br />NPS MISS <br />Susan Overson <br />$30,000 <br />Update and print 15,000 copies of the popular Mississippi River Companion, which is the <br />park's multi -modal guide to the MISS. The Companion is currently available in print and <br />online and provides park visitors with information on how to access the MISS from the <br />MRT, transit facilities, and the Mississippi River. Printing will need to be bid through the <br />Government Printing Office. Distribution of the Companion will be at the Science <br />Museum of Minnesota and at partnership park facilities as well as at park events. <br />January 29, 2014 — Page 6 <br />
