County Road 64 from County Road 83 to County Road 5. <br /> <br />167th Avenue N.W. from County Road 5 to Minnesota Highway 47. <br />153rd Avenue N.W. from County Road 5 to the Rum River. <br /> <br />County Road 57 from County Road 5 to Minnesota Highway 10 & 169 <br />and from Minnesota Highway 47 to Sunfish Lake Boulevard. <br /> <br />Variolite Street N.W. from County Road 63 to 155th Avenue N.W. <br />155th Avenue N.W. from Variolite Street to County Road 56. <br />County Road 56 from County Road 5 to Minnesota Highway 10 & 169. <br />Minnesota Highway 10 & 169 from Anoka to Elk River. <br /> <br />These bike trails will afford safe and easy access for bicyclers <br />throughout the city. Biking is becoming the biggest alternative to <br />short distance motoring, and in the near future it may overtake motor- <br />ized vehicles for the short distance jaunt, shopping trip or as a <br />way to reach our recreation sites. <br /> <br />Trott and Ford Brook Trails <br /> <br />It is also proposed that a 9.5 mile multi-purpose trail system be <br />acquired and developed. Trott Brook, running about eight miles east- <br />erly from Elk River to the Rum River, is proposed as one in which <br />a minimum of 100' of good usable land be acquired on each side of <br />the Brook for its entire length. Ford Brook, running about 1~ miles <br />southerly from Burns Township to Trott Brook, is the other trail <br />proposed and would be similar to Trott Brook--with acquisition of <br />100' on each side for its entire length. This is a great natural <br />feature of Ramsey and should not be exploited by developers or others, <br />but preserved for all the residents to use. The trails would support <br />hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and possibly <br />snowmobiling. In addition, the trails would be connecting several <br />park sites, thus creating a true park system. <br /> <br />- 26 - <br /> <br /> <br />
