The Ramsey Town Center site is fortunate to fall within an area surrounded by parks <br />and trails. A unique opportunity exists within the site to incorporate new parks and open <br />space, and to tie together several trail links. Figures 25.3 and 25.4 show the Anoka <br />County and City of Ramsey parks and trail plans, respectively. The City of Ramsey plan <br />reflected in the figure is the most recent version. Because of rapid growth within the <br />City, the park and trails system has been changing often, such that revisions are <br />constantly under way. The information in Figure 25.4 should be considered current <br />through the Spring of 2003. <br />Reference to the preferred design in Figure 6.1 shows several parks and open space areas <br />that will be included in the RTC development. The latest design contains approximately <br />40 acres of "green/open space" in a series of neighborhood parks, drainage corridors, <br />preserved and restored wetlands, and general open space. Much of this area, especially in <br />the drainageways, can serve a dual purpose of open space and temporary detention of <br />water. <br />Among the many issues identified during the stakeholder issues interview was the key <br />role that the RTC site could play in linking open space areas (parks, trails, green space) <br />25-4 <br />
