3ilto Associates Memorandum DATE: February 27, 1995 TO: City of Ramsey Staff FROM: Bill Smith RE: Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Update This memorandum is intended to facilitate discussion at our meeting on Monday, February 27. Trails Plan A trails plan has been developed with input from the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission. Presentation-size and 11 x 17 versions of the plan has been prepared in color, and only minor, final revisions are required. Typical cross-sections of six trail types have also been prepared. Direction is needed from staff on the appropriate time for the final revisions to be made; for the City Council workshop on March 6 or the Public Hearing on March 21. Jarvis Street The recommendation for Jarvis Street is make it a through street from 173rd A venue to Highway. It is proposed that the City of Elk River would participate with Ramsey in this roadway extension and improvement project. Coincident with the extension of Jarvis Street from 173rd to 165th Avenue would be construction of an on-road trail. The improvement of Jarvis Street from 165th Avenue to Highway 10 would present an opportunity to construct a multi-purpose trail between 165th and 158th Avenues, within the Jarvis Street right-of-way. It is further recommended that 173rd Avenue should be extended to the west to link with Filmore Street in Elk River. Boy Scout Camp An alignment for a future Rum River crossing was identified to link Ramsey and Andover. The 159th Avenue alignment, through the middle of the Boy Scout Camp, was proposed for this crossing. Once in Andover, the bridge alignment would need to link with an east/west street that intersects CSAH 7. Comm:mity Phmzing find DcrJC/ojJmetit" E1t'imnmentIE'k'7g)' ..
