<br />Greenway Corridors <br />Greenway Corridors include natural resources such as wetlands, hydric soils, tree canopy, <br />natural vegetation etc... These corridors are environmentally sensitive areas, which allow <br />for protection of water quality, wildlife movement, scenic views, and a continuous trail <br />system. Development would not be prohibited within this corridor; however, efforts to <br />preserve the existing resource base and return areas to their natural state would be highly <br />encouraged. This could be done through park dedication or clustering housing <br />development. <br /> <br />Character of Hi'lhway 10 <br />Highway 10 might function as a freeway. Interchanges along the corridor would be <br />limited to major north south aterials. Design standards, road improvements and <br />redevelopment can substantially improve the image Highway 10 presents to Ramsey <br />residents and passers through. Businesses would be enhanced through redevelopment, <br />access management and design practices. <br /> <br /> <br />~6rld~8 OV8r the Mississippi <br />~~ new bridge over the river would make the metro area much more accessible to Ramsey <br />residents. Good bridge design provides opportunity to create identity and an active high <br />quality Town Center. <br /> <br />Gateways <br />Gateways begin to tell us about Ramsey, its identity and its history. They would be <br />located at key entrances to the community. Gateways signify when a traveler on <br />Highway 10 has entered Ramsey. The appearance of a gateway can vary from a simple <br />stand of oaks to streetscape designs to a monument sign. <br /> <br />Shoppin'l Nodes <br />Shopping nodes contain convenient shopping areas, which serve the basic needs of <br />Ramsey residents as well as those who are passing through. These nodes are already <br />existing. <br /> <br />Recreational Areas <br />Recreational parks include areas with high use and activity primarily focused on athletics <br />and exercise. Some of the more prominent areas include the golf courses and Central <br />Park. Many smaller neighborhood parks also provide recreational activities. Future park <br />development would occur primarily within the urban area. Residents within the rural <br />area would rely on individual private yards, Central Park and local regional parks for <br />recreational needs. <br /> <br />Elements of Concept B <br />Page 2 of3 <br />
