An overlay district that designates <br />roadways as having significant scenic values would apply design and planning principles <br />to preserve the rural character of the community. <br /> <br />f' arkwaV9 <br />Parkways can provide an identity to a city or area and still allow efficient and safe traffic <br />flow. They can provide connections between focal points within the community and can <br />safely combine trail corridors within the road right of way. Parkways would act as <br />collectors relieving some residential streets of heavy traffic attempting to cross the <br />community in an east and west direction. <br /> <br />Recreational Trail <br />Recreational trails connect the various focal points of the community and form a loop that <br />connects the Mississippi River, the Rum River, and Trott Brook. The Ramsey trail <br />system would connect to neighboring community trail systems as well as regional parks <br />such as the Elm Creek Park Reserve in Hennepin County or the Bunker Hills Regional <br />Park. These trails mayor may not follow streets or be contained within a road right-of- <br />way. <br /> <br />Elements of Concept B <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />
