URBAN AMENITIES <br />The COR plan is built on recent success and future opportunity - creates great <br />places for people! <br />The Waterfront <br />As the major public amenity illustrated in <br />the Development Plan 6.0, Lake Ramsey <br />Commons will become a spectacular <br />water-centric addition to the emerging <br />park and trail system that connects the <br />whole community. It holds a key position <br />as the connecting hub between The Draw <br />to the east, the proposed Greenway Trail <br />Connection to the west, the Municipal <br />Plaza and Commuter Rail Station to the <br />south, with the proposed Mississippi <br />Skyway linking the regional park and trail <br />to The COR. <br />Municipal Plaza <br />In each of the many different planning <br />frameworks over the years, the Municipal <br />civic space at the very heart of The COR. <br />Located directly across Sunwood Drive <br />from Ramsey City Hall, this crucial public <br />amenity will serve as the central gathering <br />space for day-to-day activities and will <br />certainly attract heightened private sector <br />interest in development of adjacent <br />properties. <br />Lake Itasca and Greenway <br />Connection <br />Various scenarios and alignments were <br />studied and, each in their own way, serve <br />to illustrate the strategic opportunity to <br />connect amenities in The COR with Lake <br />Greenway <br />Itasca to the west via a public greenway <br />trail. The greenway provides visual <br />continuity east-west through The COR, and <br />becomes the preferred access route for <br />the hundreds of residential units between <br />Lake Itasca and the retail destinations <br />within The COR–strengthening the vitality <br />of these commercial enterprises. <br />4 <br />CITY OF RAMSEYPUBLIC PLACES + VIBRANT COMMUNITY <br /> <br />
