Ramsey will continue to plan for a new municipal <br />park along the Mississippi River between the Alpaca Estates and Bowers neighborhoods. <br />Transportation & Public Utilities <br />Ramsey will continue to support future planning for the future Mississippi River Crossing to the <br />City of Dayton in Hennepin County. <br />Ramsey will continue to support Connexus Energy’s electric transmission line across the <br />Mississippi River to the City of Dayton. <br />Natural Resources Planning <br />Ramsey undertook two (2) comprehensive inventories in the mid-2000s; a Natural Resources <br />Inventory (NRI) and a Wetland Inventory. Both of these data sets are referenced any time a new <br />development is proposed. These data sets help inform Ramsey if there are significant and/or high <br />value natural resources within a development site that may warrant greater protections. While <br />both provide valuable insight, Ramsey acknowledges that both require periodic updates to ensure <br />that the data is accurate and relevant. There has been no specific timeframe identified for updates
