187 <br />In concluding, this proposal would recommend that the Trott Brook Greenway be considered as a <br />Regional Trail, fulfilling the east/west Regional Search Corridor goals, as aligned generally and <br />depicted below. <br />Figure 50: Trail Search Corridors and planned/existing trails within Ramsey <br />Regional Parks and Trail: <br />Legend <br />Regional Trails <br />STATUS <br />— Existing <br />— — Planned <br />▪ Alternate Stud•, <br />--- Proposed <br />Regional Parks <br />LJ City Boundary <br />Road <br />Rivers <br />1 = Anoka County MississiPn' n 've• <br />• Central Anoka [minis <br />3 F Run Bever <br />The 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan, Chapter 4: Siting and Acquisition - Strategy 3, cites, "New <br />regional trails must serve a regional audience and provide connection between regional parks, park <br />preserves, and regional trails without duplicating an existing trail." The proposal above meets this <br />objective, by connecting Rum River Central Regional Park to the proposed Rum River Regional Trail <br />(potentially west of the river, as described above) and does not duplicate an existing trail. <br />Moreover, by designating the Trott Brook Greenway as a regional trail, it will function as described <br />by the Council "...two major types of trails to serve the region: 1) destination or greenway trails and <br />2) linking trails". The trail would be a destination, and one significant linkage would be the <br />Mississippi River Trail in Ramsey, with its connection to the west in Elk River and subsequent link <br />to the Great Northern Trail. <br />city of RAMSEY <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
