Chapter 04 � Master Plan <br />Trailhead Concept: Zimmerman <br />OVERVIEW <br />The Zimmerman trailhead replaces an existing park-and-ride lot in Lions Park. <br />The parking lot was designed to accommodate trail users as well as additional <br />stalls for the park and ride. Lions Park has two baseball fields, two softball fields, <br />a community building, concessions, and a picnic shelter. There are planned bike <br />trails through the park that will connect the Great Northern Trail to the nearby high <br />school and surrounding neighborhoods. There is also an opportunity to include <br />interpretive signage on Zimmerman's historic downtown in this location. <br />AMENITIES <br />Given the urban context, this trailhead includes an enhanced level of amenities. <br />There are EV charging stations for cars and bicycles, LED lighting, a picnic shelter, <br />wayfinding signage, and restrooms. A small gathering area with seating provides <br />a spot to eat lunch and accommodates passive use. The trail ares around the <br />outside edge of the parking lot to reduce circulation conflicts, and a separate <br />sidewalk creates a reaction zone between the trail and the parking lot. Stormwater <br />runoff from the parking lot is treated within the parking island. The parking lot is <br />well-shaded with canopy trees to create a more welcoming experience and cooler <br />microclimate. <br />Y � JT.ww <br />�' �� ' <br />d �i , R �{ �� � . . � � :' - <br />'-� <br />_ - --�- - <br />--- ����} # � <br />, �.� <br />_.�- . . _ _ = J _ ��� <br />����Y�a..0 o*.� .��oir�ud��1Ea� � e ��:� �.� <br />74 Great Northern Trail Master Plan � August 2022 <br />
