The City of Ramsey Safe Routes to School grant application is proposing:. <br />1. To construct 1470 feet of ten foot wide bituminous trail along the northeast side of CSAH <br />5 from Sunwood Drive to the Lord of Life Church driveway. This is a critical link between <br />Ramsey Elementary and its emergency evacuation site. <br />2. To partner with Anoka County and construct intersection improvements at CSAH 5 and <br />Alpine Drive. The City will complete trail segment reconstruction for better alignment with <br />the roadway and create a location for an -east-west pedestrian crossing. The County will <br />install the crosswalk improvements with striping, signage, and advanced pavement <br />markings making this area more visible to traffic. <br />3. To construct 1500 feet of ten foot wide bituminous trail along the south side of Alpine <br />Drive from CSAH 5 to the west to tie into the existing trail system. <br />4. To construct 25 feet of ten foot wide bituminous trail as a connection from the existing <br />pedestrian crossing terminus on the south side of Alpine Drive, east of CSAH 5, to the <br />existing trail. <br />5. To install 2450 feet of pavement striping, and associated pavement markings, along <br />142"d Street to delineate the pedestrian zone from the travel lane for this on-street trail <br />section that currently connections two community parks. <br />6. To investigate acquisition of a trail easement for construction of 350 feet of ten foot wide <br />bituminous trail connecting two established neighborhoods, between 149th Lane and <br />150th Lane, which terminate in cul-de-sacs. This will provide a convenient route for school <br />children to reach the 150th Lane crosswalk in front of Ramsey Elementary, and create a <br />valuable neighborhood link for pass through pedestrian traffic. <br />7. To investigate options to construct five-foot wide concrete sidewalks in neighborhoods <br />east of Ramsey Elementary; including 152"d Lane, Helium Street, Germanium Street, and <br />150th Lane. These sidewalks would create safer, more convenient off-street pedestrian <br />ways for children to reach the crosswalk at 150th Lane in front of Ramsey Elementary. <br />8. To construct 1550 feet of ten foot bituminous trail along the eastside of Sunfish Lake Blvd <br />from Sunwood Drive to 143`d Lane. <br />Additional non-infrastructure items that would be funded through this grant include: <br />1. Development of a school route plan map for distribution to families at Ramsey elementary <br />and linked to the School District and City websites. <br />2. Continuation, and possible expansion, of safety patrol training and safety camp programs <br />by the Ramsey police department. <br />3. General safety items; such a vests for crossing guards, kid alert visual warning system, <br />and bike helmets. <br />_1 g2_ <br />
