F3istorically, pedestrian trails and/or sidewalk, where <br />appropriate, have been required by the city and installed by the developer, at the cost of the <br />developer. This has been common practice fox development in Elk River as well as other <br />communities. The city has not been accepting trails in lieu of park dedication.
