NM 523.1,7 <br />r ,a.e <br />ro ar MIT <br />Brookfield Trail Connection <br />In 2016, Ramsey identified an opportunity to create a new trail connection to the Trott Brook Trail, <br />a very popular walking/biking trail that parallels Trott Brook. There were multiple facets to this <br />project that, in concert, would improve mobility, create pollinator friendly habitat, promote <br />infiltration and improve water quality. The new trail segment provided a 'mid -block' connection to <br />the existing Trott Brook Trail. Since the existing pedestrian ramp was at the low spot in the road, <br />an opportunity existed to incorporate a rain garden into this project to promote infiltration and <br />groundwater recharge while also improving the water quality of a large stormwater pond that <br />serves as a `water feature amenity' for this neighborhood also. Finally, rather than installing a <br />typically turf grass landscape that would require irrigation and regular, routine maintenance <br />(mowing), a native, pollinator friendly landscape was established on both sides of the trail.
