r <br />received <br />Dear Friends of the Minn. DNR Luce^^.ine^ "/rai <br />Cl IY OF OROiVo <br />16010 5th Av^ N <br />Plymouth, MN 55^1 <br />Jan. 1. 1 <br />0/ry,JSg'8 <br />Please find enclosed copies of articles In the Dec. 31, 1997 “Plyrnoiftl^Am <br />Sailor Newspaper". The DNR is requesting public comments on their Dr^ <br />Plan to upgrade the 20+ year old Luce Line Trail before the DNR plan becomes <br />FINAL. Please read the articles from Barbara Burgum of the DNR and myself. <br />I believe the Luce Line Trail is a very important resource to the west metro <br />area. The Luce Line Trail needs vour and vour friends support. <br />The Luce Line Trail is a STATE trail, not a local trail. The west metro, area <br />should have the right to a first class trail like the Gateway Trail in north St. <br />Paul and the rest of the STATE Trails. The Luce Line is the ^mlyDNR trail <br />that is limestone, all of the other nine or ten multiple use DNR state trails <br />are asphalt. The Luce Line trail should be the best in the west metro. <br />The Luce Line should be asphalt to allow in-line skaters, wheelchair and <br />bikers other than mountain bikes to share the trail with other users. <br />What I am asking you to do are a) call, write, fax or e-mail vour comments to <br />the DNR, b) make copies for your friends and c) interested parties. Mail <br />comments to Barbara Burgum, DNR Trails & Waterways Unit, Box 52, 500 <br />Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4052. Fax to 297-5475, e-mailed to <br />laurle,young@dnr.state.mn.us or telephoned to 296-6693. <br />The 20+ year old Luce Line State Trail is well worth our support for our <br />children and grandchildren. It will be another 20 years before we of the west <br />metro has another chance tell the DNR what we want. <br />The DNR responds to the public they are serving, if you don’t comment, the <br />other interests have already made their comments know. <br />Thank you for your help. It is worth a little of your time!! We need to be <br />timely, so do it soon. <br />incerelyu^ours. <br />RaymoncTt. Jorgensen <br />473-5539
