This segment begins at the Anoka County/Sherburne County line and ends at the west end of the Mississippi West Regional Park. Refer to Appendix Sheets 1, 2 and 3 of 8. 1. The first part of segment 1 is approximately 6,050 lineal feet long, starting at the west Anoka County line and ending at the intersection of Highway 10 and Bowers Drive NW. This would include a 10 foot bituminous trail to be south of and adjacent to the Highway 1 0 right of way. . This alignment corresponds to the City of Elk River's proposed trail corridor. The proposed trail location includes areas of trees, a number of private fences, utility pede.stals, billboards and miscellaneous items associated with the use of property as a private yard. The west 1,500 feet of this part is currently agricultural use. The State of Minnesota owns approximately 1,000 feet, which includes the rest area south of Highway 10. The remaining adjacent properties are single family homes.
