191 <br />Regional Trail Search Corridor - Better Connectivity to Regional Parks System <br />The introduction of Regional Trails within Chapter 3 states: "[...] regional trails are selected to pass <br />through or provide connections between components in the Regional Parks System. The regional <br />parks and park reserves perform the important function of providing places for parking, comfort <br />facilities and safe water supplies. <br />Trails also are selected for their ability to intersect with local trail networks, with the regional trails <br />functioning much like regional highways that interconnect with more local arterials and local <br />streets". <br />In keeping with the above statement and intent, Anoka County Parks and the Metropolitan Council <br />should investigate the west portion of Search Corridor 3 to connect to the only regional park in this <br />area. By aligning the proposed, search area trail south to Rum River Central Regional Park, it also <br />then intersects with the east/west Trott Brook Greenway. Additionally, this connects the Four - <br />corner sub -regional center (depicted by the circle below) of Nowthen, Oak Grove, Andover and <br />Ramsey, thus connecting four communities to; the Mississippi River Trail, a Regional Park, Wild and <br />Scenic Rum River, and proposed Rum River Regional Trail —(without regard to whether the trail is <br />east or west of the Rum). <br />Mississippi River Trail <br />city of RAMSEY <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
