C <br />DESCRIPTION OP PROJECT <br />The Hennepin County Park Reserve District is preparing plans :.nd <br />specifications for the construction of approxir-.ately 7.2 miles of <br />asphalt paved bike -hike trail within Baker Park Reserve in Western <br />Hennepin County. This project is Fart 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 Govenor Perpich's trail programs. <br />This trail is a loop around the south half of Baker Park Reserve. <br />lt.ccess to the trail will be from County Road 56, County Road C19 <br />and County Road #24, and a trailhead area near the Baker Beach. At <br />the south end, the trail will run along the perimeter of the Take <br />Katrina marsh 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 horsetrails. The new fill will be located <br />adjacent to the horsetrail fill which was partially completed in 1973. <br />We do not propose to sub -excavate before placing the fill. We 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 from a stockpile <br />and borrow area near the southwest corner of the park: reserve. <br />
