GITYoTORONO <br />Post OfTicc Box fi6*Ci>stai Bay. Minnaaota S6323*Maiikipal OfBeaa <br />On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />May 9,1991 <br />Mary Millar, CounciImember <br />City of Long Lake <br />1964 Park Avenue <br />Long Lake, MM 55356 <br />Dear Mary: <br />creating a link from Baker Park to the Luce line Trail, adDecent <br />to or parallel with Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />For your inforr^^tion the City of Orono developed a <br />any tine. 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 eventuaJ ly <br />to Noerenberg Park 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 />I 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 St grade {whichever is the most safe) any existing or proposed <br />major 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 wiJ I have a safe <br />pedestrian route to the Orono schools and Orono residents will <br />have a safe pedestrian route to the Long lake business district, <br />churches, etc. <br />M’ ■ <br />Bt'IUNNCa ZOSIMi • -rrVTjr <br />AiiEMINC <br />^OMIM'iTRATIOS 1»INWf I - <br />FAX - 47MSHI <br />PI sue WORKS . r.t.735*
