ACCESSIBILITY Anoka County continually strives to provide equal access to all residents of Anoka County and the region. Park and trail use is open to any and all citizens. A few of the regional parks have a nominal $5.00 daily entrance fee, which is used to help offset the operations and maintenance for the parks. This fee is not anticipated to be collected until the park fully developed, which is not expected to occur for 10 to 15 years. Figure 25 illustrates existing transit access near the park. Currently transit is limited to Bus Route 887 and Northstar Route 888 with no direct stops at the park, although the park can be reached via trail. The future City of Ramsey pedestrian bridge across Highway l 0 is proposed to provide a safe crossing over Highway 10 and provide access to the park via the city's trail system. In addition, the Anoka County Traveler Transit Link and Metro Transit's Mobility Link provide dial -a -ride services for a minimal fee. Transit Link will pick up and drop off passengers anywhere there is an address. The address for the park is 13935 Traprock Street. Currently all of the vehicles are equipped with bike racks so passengers wishing to bike on the trail could use Transit Link to preschedule a drop-off and return trip. staff' tion Vreaeaae Mississippi Ri 'er Skyway Bicycle Pedest-ian Bridge 8 Boat Launch & Parking Lot Prairie Restoration - • ` 1+Mississippi Rirr • Regional Trail •. planned ` construction ;l '� in 2017 to Mississippi River Hennepin 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 Feet Legend Pedestrian Access Future Pedestrian Access VehicularAccess Transit Route Existing Trail, Sidewalk or Bikeway Proposed Regional Trail Roadway Mississippi West Regional Park - Access & Transit FIGURE 13 3/6/2017 Mississippi West Regional Park Master Plan Amendment 19
