PROJECT <br />The Hennepin County Park Reserve District is preparing plans and <br />specllicatlons for the construction of approxiieately 7.2 miles of <br />asphalt paved bike-hike trail within Baker Park Reserve in Western <br />Hennepin County. This pioject is part of the nearly 30 miles of <br />bike-hike trail which will be constructed in our various park reserves <br />this summer under one of Covenor Perpich’s trail programs. <br />• <br />This trail is a loop around the south half of Baker Park Rffserve. <br />Access to the trail will be from County Road ^6, County Road fl9 <br />and County Road and a trallhcad area near the Baker Beach. At <br />the south end, the trail will run along the perimeter of the Lake <br />Katrina tnarsh for a distance of about 1,200 feet. <br />We propose to construct a fill adjacent to this marsh to support the <br />combined bike-hike and lorsetrails. The new fill will be located <br />adjacent to the horsetiail fill which was partially completed in 1973. <br />We do not propose to sub-excavatc before placing the fill. Ve 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 fv'-.n a stockpile <br />and borrow area near the southwest corner of the park reserve. <br />. !
