Chapter 04 � Master Plan <br />Segment 2: North Zimmerman <br />OVERVIEW <br />Segment 2 starts at 273rd Ave and extends <br />to 293rd Ave. There are two route alternates <br />for this segment, one that follows the former <br />Great Northern railroad bed, and the other <br />aligned on the east side of Highway 45. The <br />railroad alignment angles toward Highway 45, <br />and runs parallel to the road for the northern <br />half of the segment, which provides an option <br />to build sections in public ownership closest to <br />the highway to phase in properties as they are <br />acquired. A rapid flashing beacon crossing is <br />proposed at 293rd Ave. <br />SEGEMENT 2A <br />This route proposes to follow the former Great <br />Northern rail grade north to 293rd Ave, or County <br />Road 9. This segment has four gaps in public <br />ownership and crosses 16 parcels of privately <br />owned land. This option would require easement <br />purchase of private property from willing sellers. <br />A key issue for residents in this segment is trail <br />safety and concern about motorized use on the <br />trail. <br />52 Great Northern Trail Master Plan <br />August 2022 <br />SEGEMENT 2B <br />This route proposes to construct the trail along <br />the east side of CH 45 right of way. The trail <br />would be constructed with a vegetated buffer <br />between the road and trail; see the trail typology <br />section of this chapter for more information. <br />t._ _.�i..,.,, r_ <br />A 4t <br />r <br />1?',"� km�'. �-- .M1 <br />- t <br />/z� ' ' <br />� i� <br />- _ _ _ . . -- . __,'"} -_ <br />�-�- - � . nr. � <br />..: <br />. .
