RE: Oak Park Heights: Cooperative Trail Grant Program Pre - Application
' FILE NO: 798.04 - 97.01
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Please find attached the City of Oak Park Heights' application for the Cooperative Trail
Grant Program. We are requesting funds to construct recreational and transportation
connections to 58th Street. The trail is identified in the City's Comprehensive Bicycle and
Pedestrian Trial System as a significant connection that will help unify the City and provide
connection to county and regional trails. The project would likely not be possible unless
assistance can be obtained through the matching funds of the grant program.
We look forward to working with you in further defining this project and in completing an
application.
Sincerely yours,
NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC.

COOPERATIVE TRAIL GRANT PROGRAM
CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS
PRE- APPLICATION
58th Street Trail Connection Description
The proposed 10 foot wide, 3,500 feet long bituminous trail will provide an east -west
transportation Zink through Oak Park Heights. The proposed project would connect the
Northern States Power easement overland trail (City approved construction for summer
1997) on the west, and the 58th street existing grade separated trail on the east. This
would provide a significant recreational and transportation access for all Oak Park Heights
residents in that it provides linkages between businesses, homes, parks, and schools in
the community.
The proposed trail would complement and connect the on -road facilities provided as part
of MnDoT's Highway 36 upgrade. The trail will provide connections to Oak Parks Heights
new residential and commercial development, new annexation area park and the Stillwater
Area High School. Additionally the trail will provide a connection to the Washington
County trail system and trails within the National Scenic Riverway along the St. Croix
River.
The City of Oak Park Heights has prepared a Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail
System Plan that identifies this 58th trail connection. The trail will create a linear park
concept through the community. A conceptual drawing of the proposed trailway has been
included.
