MinnesoU 5S323• MunidiMl OfBoii <br />:)pf)No On th*^ North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />May 9,1991 <br />Mary Miller, CounciInember <br />City of Long Lake <br />1964 Park Avenue <br />Long Lake, NN 55356 <br />Dear Mary: <br />This letter is in response to your letter of April 24, 1991 <br />regarding the proposed Bike/Bike Trail rn the City o <br />creating a link from Baker Park to the Luce line Trail, adjacent <br />to or parallel with Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />For your information the City of Orono developed^ a <br />conceptual Bike/Hike Trail Flan several years ago. A map of <br />those routes is available at the City Office for ycur review at <br />any time. The route along Old Crystal Bay Road has been a part <br />of that plan from the beginning. <br />The reason for the comments in the newspaper recently is <br />because the Hennepin Parks system is very interested in a <br />connection of Baker Park and the Luce Line Trail and eventually <br />to Hoereaberg ark on North Shore Drive. <br />At this time it is being reviewed by the City of Orono and <br />Hennepin Parks to determine feasability. We doubt very much <br />that construction could begin this year. <br />X don't think anybody felt that the proposed north/south <br />trail would at any time parallel existing or proposed major <br />roadways such as Highway 12 but would probably cross over/under <br />or at grade (whichever is the most safe) any existing or proposed <br />aiajor roadway such as Highway 12. Accordingly, we think it will <br />have no impact on the Highway 12 location. <br />We believe this trail system will be a marvelous facility <br />for the people of Orono and Long Lake. We hope that the Long <br />Lake City Council and the Long Lake Parks Board will give it <br />their unqualified support and will develop trails to connect with <br />it. In this way. Long Lake children and adults will have a <br />pedestrian route to the Orono schools and Orono residents^wi^l <br />have a safe pedestrian route to the Long Lake business district, <br />churches, etc. <br />tl’tUNNC a lONISC - JTMirr <br />ASKWNC <br />administration a finance - 47?.73» <br />fA\.<m45l» <br />PUBUC WORKS - 4TW735» <br />I <br />J
