Chapter 04 � Master Plan <br />Segment 3: South Princeton <br />OVERVIEW <br />Segment 3 starts at 293rd Ave and extends to <br />Rum River Drive in Princeton. This segment has a <br />1-mile section of the Great Northern Trail already <br />constructed between Rum River Drive and 313th <br />Ave. Route alternate 3c takes advantage of a <br />constructed trail between 293rd Ave and 299th <br />Ave. This section of trail begins near the Highway <br />169 southbound offramp and appears to have <br />been built as part of the subdivision. Key issues <br />for residents in this segment are the proximity <br />of route alternates to their homes and any <br />vegetation removal needed for trail construction. <br />SEGEMENT 3A <br />This route proposes to follow the former <br />Great Northern rail grade north to 313th Ave <br />where it meets a constructed portion of the <br />Great Northern Trail and continues to South <br />Zimmerman. This segment has three gaps in <br />public ownership that cross a total of six parcels <br />of privately owned land. This option would <br />require easement purchase of private property <br />from willing sellers. Some of these parcels have <br />structures built on the historic railroad grade, <br />such as a horse barn and a garage. <br />SEGEMENT 3B <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 />� �, + ; �' a .�— _ ` <br />.. �C��Y� � y � � <br />. .
