During the reconstruction <br /> project, the City extended the sidewalk along the south side of Business Center Drive, <br /> constructed a new sidewalk from Highway 10 to approximately 3/8 mile north of County Road <br /> 30 on the east side of Waco, and also constructed a bituminous trail from Highway 10 to <br /> approximately the Business Center Drive/Waco Street intersection on the west side of Waco. <br /> Also in the area is the County Road 30 trail,located on the north side of County Road 30,which <br /> stops at the east edge of the Sandpiper Estates subdivision. <br /> The Master Park Plan indicates an extension of both the Waco Street and County Road 30 trails. <br /> As discussed during the Elk Path Business Center concept plan review,the County Road 30 trail <br /> as well as the sidewalk on Waco Street can be extended as the Elk Path Business Center <br /> develops. At some point in the future,Waco Street will need to be reconstructed and staff <br /> anticipates extending the bituminous trail along the west side of Waco Street south to County <br /> Road 30. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff requests that the Commission provide additional direction regarding this issue to staff. <br /> Phone:763.441.7420 <br /> Fax:763.441.7425 <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\WacoTrail.doc <br /> www.ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
