193 <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 4B: Trail Search Corridors and planned/existing trails within Ramsey <br />v MRIe5 <br />0 0.25 0.5 1 <br />Regional Parks and Trails <br />Legend <br />Regional Trails <br />STATUS <br />- (Mating <br />Planned <br />Alternate Study <br />--• Proposed <br />I� Regional Parks <br />CM thy Boundary <br />- Road <br />Riven <br />1= Anoka county Missnsppl Raver <br />2 = Central Anoka Caunly <br />r nun Flan <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 />
