This off- <br />roadwaytrail corridor is centered geographically in the city, connecting <br />Ramsey's two most prominent athletic complexes. The adjoining land use is <br />predominantly residential; however there. is a fair amount of natural areas <br />generally associated with the wetlands that border, and hydraulically connect <br />to the ditch. <br />The anticipated uses of this trail are as recreationally located as the trail is <br />centered in the community. With trail completion, the values will include <br />connecting neighborhoods to the trail system, linking community parks, and <br />providing a natural resource experience while residents recreate, travel, and <br />exercise near home. <br />40 <br />
