Bicycling & Walking <br />County Highway Multi -Use Trails <br />A network of multi -use trails exist, <br />along many of the County's highway <br />facilities. The Anoka County <br />Highway Department's practice <br />is to work with the cities and the <br />Anoka County Parks Department to <br />construct trail and/or sidewalk on <br />newly constructed or reconstructed <br />roadways. The result is that <br />approximately two to three miles of <br />new trail or sidewalk are constructed <br />by the Highway Department every <br />year. In addition, the cities and the <br />Anoka County Parks Department <br />work to expand and maintain the <br />multi -use trail system outside of <br />highway projects. <br />Regional Trails <br />Bike Riders using an Anoka County trail (Source: Anoka County) <br />There are bicycle and pedestrian trails located within Anoka County focused on <br />recreational use, traveling in loops through the county's park facilities. However, several <br />longer, regional trails connect Anoka County communities to one another and to other <br />residential, commercial, and recreational opportunities. These regional trails, owned, <br />managed, and maintained by the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department are <br />listed below: <br />» <br />» <br />Rice Creek West & North Regional Trails; <br />Mississippi River Regional Trail; <br />East Anoka County Regional Trail; <br />Central Anoka County Regional Trail; <br />Rum River Regional Trail; and <br />Coon Creek Regional Trail. <br />As shown in Figure 13, the existing regional trails are located in the southern half of the <br />county. <br />Hlvur-kl.uuNi r cu'+u I rcrsivorkirt Ii-i HuN PLAN UPDATE CHAPTER 3- EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />
