Figure Vi,l <br /> <br />Shared Pedestrian and Bike Trail <br />Separated from a Rural Road <br /> <br />Ranascv is a developing suburb xvhere <br />cu'ban and suburban development <br />mce~s rt~r~l development. Many of <br />thc roads r~utside of the Urban <br />o~ v~cc Area arc still rural secdons. <br />~)<'r~[~ C ~ tr:dl c;mnections arc planned <br />ah~;~g these rt~ral roadway corridors, <br />a ~rail iustallafion could occur with a <br />cl~ch sccl{ot'~ be~veen the edge of the <br />~',)~td and tl~c edge ()f the =ail. <br /> <br />Many of the soils in Ramsey are well <br />drained, xvhich may allow a shallower <br />ditch section that would be required <br />in heavier, poorly drained soils. <br /> <br />If there is not enough roadway to <br />accommodate both the road, the ditch <br />and the trail, an easement could be <br />acquired to accommodate part or all <br />of the trail that does not fit inside the <br />road R.OY,V. The amount of existing <br />development, building setbacks and <br />cost of easement acquisition will all <br />be factors in the feasibility of this <br />approach. <br /> <br /> <br />
