V. BOUNDARIES AND ACQUISITION COSTS <br />For this master plan, the proposed trail corridor is broken down into five segments that <br />illustrate the primary route and several alternative routes. It is proposed that if the <br />primary route cannot be constructed, the alternate routes will be considered; however, <br />most of the alternates are intended to be additional trail locations, to interconnect with <br />other existing and proposed trails. <br />Segment 1 -Appendix A, Sheets i , 2 & 3 of 8 <br />The primary route for Segment 1 is approximately four miles in length. It begins <br />at the Anoka County/Sherburne County line and ends at the west end of <br />Mississippi West Regional Park. This trail segment will include a 10 foot <br />bituminous trail south of and adjacent to the Highway 10 right-of-way until <br />Bowers Drive NW where it will then be routed through an agricultural field and <br />wooded area. From there it will travel along the south side of 142"d Avenue <br />NW in the existing road right of way. This segment of trail will require <br />approximately 75,000 SF in trail easement acquisition at a cost of <br />approximately $175,000. Approximately 13,050 LF crosses agricultural fields <br />or open space. In these areas, Anoka County proposes that as the land is <br />developed, the trail could be required as part of the development with little cost <br />to the city or the county. <br />Segment 1 has an important alternate. The route through the agricultural field, <br />as an extension of Riverdale Drive, could also be an important connection to the <br />existing trail along Riverdale Drive. Riverdale Drive could have a trail along its <br />entire length in the future, which would be very convenient and useful to that <br />entire area after development. <br />Page 7 of 26 <br />
