• August 26,2000 <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> PO Box 490 <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> Subject: Recreation lane on new 101 bridge. <br /> To the Council members of the City of Elk River. <br /> The River City Snow Riders are writing this letter to ask that a multi-use trail be added to the new 101 <br /> bridge. We are only asking a mere 15 feet of extra room. This will allow a safe environment for <br /> snowmobilers,and other users to cross the Mississippi. The time is now to do:this. This will only make it <br /> easier for,future developments as the area here continues to grow. There is funding out there to help pay <br /> for the addition. Snowmobile clubs on both sides of the river, City Park and rec's,and countywide park <br /> and rec departments can all apply for additional funding to help with this. The time is now. The current <br /> snowmobile trail directs snowmobile traffic from Otsego right into downtown Elk River. The intersection <br /> of Main Street and Hwy 169 gets real busy. This is not a fun spot for a snowmobiler or bicyclist to <br /> manage. With the addition of a"recreation"lane,a safe means of-crossing the Mississippi would be <br /> completed. <br /> We would be more than happy to talk in more detail about this. Please contact us using the resources <br /> listed below. <br /> • Address: River City Snow Riders <br /> PO Box 553 <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> Email: rivercitysnowriders ajuno.com <br /> Tha <br /> Greg S om <br /> Trail coordinator <br /> River City Snow Riders <br /> • <br />
