ANDERSON 1335 South Brown Road <br />BOOMING <br />BLOOMINGTON Lon. Lake, Minnesota -5356 <br />CHARLES R. PML RE: Bike/Hike Trail At Baker Park Reserve <br />VICE CHAIRMAN <br />ORONO <br />Dear Mr. Olson: <br />WILLIAM BARBEAU <br />GOLDEN VALLEY As you know, the Hennepin Count Park Reserve District i� <br />Y P Y proposing <br />AMELIAM DeMUSE to construct a bike/hike trail around that portion of Baker Nark <br />MINNEAPOLIS Reserve which lips south of County P ad 24. Tne total length <br />�f the proposed trail, including the main loop and spur connection <br />DAINNEAPVID ENBERGER is 7.1 miles. Of this total length, approximately 1 .2 miles lies <br />MINNEAPOLIS 9 PP Y <br />within the City of Orono. This distance includes approximately <br />AUNK GREENE 0.24 miles along .)tarkey Road for the spur connection to County <br />MOUND <br />Road 6. <br />LAWRENCE F HAEG <br />ROBBINSDALE <br />In order to complete the loop trai I , it will be necessary to <br />construct a fi 11 adjacent to the Lake Katrina marsh at the point <br />JUNE HEGSTROM <br />MINNEAPOLIS <br />where the marsh is closest to the Right -of -Way of Highway N12. <br />This fill will carry `he bike/hike trail and the horse trail. <br />LTSAHOLLENDER <br />Top of the fill will be 34 feet wic1P and side slopes wi I l be <br />MINNEAPOLIS <br />at 3:1. The fill will be located as close to the Right -of -Way <br />THOMAS B. HUMPHREY JR <br />line of Highway #12 as possible. The new fill will also make <br />MAPtF PLAIN <br />use of the existinghorse trail fill which was partially completed <br />RAYMONDN SEAGREN <br />several years ago. Surface of the trail through the fill area <br />MINNEAPOLIS <br />will be crushed limestone. I estimate that total quantity cf <br />fill required to be 5,000 to 6,000 cubic yards. This material <br />"' <br />will be taken from a stockpile and borrow area located just to <br />the west of the proposed fi 11 . <br />CLIFTONE FRENCH <br />SUPERINTENDENT <br />This fill is necessary sa that this trail can be constructed as a <br />loop around the park. It is desirable so that the experience of the <br />trail user can be continuous. Our recent experience with the horse <br />trail, which was never completed through tnis area, shows that there <br />is a reduction in user satisfaction with a "dead end" situation. <br />
