(( <br />Yy oa c 1 <br />o <br />DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT <br />, ♦ <br />The Hennepin County Park Reserve District Is preparing plans and <br />specifications for the construction of approxinately 7.2 miles of <br />. asphalt paved bike-hike trail within Baker Park Reserve in Western <br />Hennepin County. This project is part of the nearly 30 miles of <br />bike-hike trail which will be constructed in our various park reserves <br />this sumiaer under one of Govenor Perpich's trail programs. <br />This trail is a loop around the south half of Baker Park Reserve. <br />Access to the trail will be from County Road «f6. County Road i*19 <br />and County Road 1^24, and a trailhead area near the Baker Beach. At <br />the south end, the trail will run along the perimeter of the Lake <br />Xatrlna marsh for a distance of about 1,200 feet. <br />. i <br />We propose to construct a fill adjacent to this marsh tc support the <br />combined bike-hike and horsetrails. The new fill will be located <br />adjacent to the horsetrail fill which was partially completed in 1973 <br />We do not propose to sub-excavate before placing the fill. We anti­ <br />cipate that some settling may occur during the first years. The <br />surface of the trail in this area will be crushed limestone, rather <br />than asphalt. We estimate that approximately 6,000 cubic yards of <br />fill will be required- This material will be taken from a stockpile <br />and borrow area near the southwest corner of the park reserve. <br />. « <br />- *
