The proposed extension will create a continuous segment of paved trail that links the City of Chanhassen's trail system to the regional trail system. Currently only one connection exists between Chanhassen's trail system and the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail; therefore, the proposed trail will fill a significant need in the current regional multi -modal transportation system in the southwest metro area. Over the last decade, the City of Chanhassen has made significant investments in trail and sidewalk infrastructure which has resulted in a highly developed interconnected network that links parks, schools, civic destinations, neighborhoods, and business districts throughout the city. Chanhassen's vision for this system, along with support from residents and thoughtful land use planning has allowed the city to successfully construct over 80 miles of trail and sidewalk. Now nearly fully developed, the city is focused on filling the remaining gaps within the local system, and improving links to the regional trail system. Limited opportunities exist along the southern border of Carver County to connect to the regional trail system. The topography of the Minnesota River bluffs and the Trunk Highway (TH) 212 corridor make it technically challenging to reach the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail, only one of two regional trails extending into Carver County. The barrier -free pedestrian crossing created by the underpass at Bluff Creek Drive and TH 212 and the close proximity to the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail make this an opportune location to create a regional trail connection. Three Rivers Park District maintains the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail and recently installed a trailhead with parking and an information kiosk at the Bluff Creek Drive trail crossing, further enhancing the value of this location as a connection point. The possible expansion of the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail is gaining momentum. In 2013, Carver County will construct a portion of the Southwest Regional Trail Connection to meet the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail at its southern terminus. Once complete, this connection will allow regional trail users to directly connect to the city of Chaska's trail system. In early 2011, the Metropolitan Council approved the Minnesota River Bluffs Extension and Scott County Connection Regional Trail Master Plan jointly submitted by Carver and Scott Counties, which guides future development of the regional trail through the cities of Chaska and Carver, and into Scott County across the Minnesota River. The Carver County Regional Rail Authority's recent purchase of the railroad corridor from Chaska to the Minnesota River further improves the likelihood of future trail expansion along this corridor. g: \park \th \arboretum trail connector \city council report 62811.doc Mr. Todd Gerhardt June 27, 2011 Page 3 Recognizing the importance of the regional trail system, and the high value that residents place on a connected system, the City of Chanhassen and Carver County have identified the proposed project as an opportunity to improve Chanhassen's connection to the regional system. Since the existing trail along Bluff Creek Drive, north of the proposed project terminates only 0.75 -miles from the existing Minnesota River Bluff s LRT Regional Trail crossing, the proposed project would complete an optimal connection that would maximize public resources while filling a significant gap in the system. TH 5 Pedestrian Trail and TH 41 Pedestrian Underpass The City of Chanhassen is proposing to construct a trail along the south side of Trunk Highway 5 (TH 5), extending east from the entrance drive of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to Century Boulevard, with a grade separated pedestrian underpass at Trunk Highway 41 (TH 41) just south of the TH 5 and TH 41 intersection. When completed, this portion of trail and underpass will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to safely access the main entrance of the Arboretum via trail, and will fill a significant gap in the current and future regional multi -modal transportation system by providing a safe connection to vital employment and cultural centers, recreation opportunities, and transit facilities. Guided by a unique public and private partnership centered on a common goal, the cities of Chanhassen and Victoria, the Arboretum, and Lifetime Fitness have committed to improving pedestrian safety and mobility within the TH 5 corridor and around the intersection of TH 5 and TH 41. Working collaboratively, the city of Chanhassen and the Arboretum have developed a trail concept that takes advantage of the scenic campus and its existing trail system to create a unique regional trail connection. Further solidifying this partnership, the Arboretum has committed to donating the land necessary to construct the trail. Recognizing the value of providing safe recreational and commuter trail access for facility visitors, health club programs, and headquarter employees, Lifetime Fitness has also committed to donating the necessary easements to allow the trail to continue across their property east to Century Boulevard, thus completing the connection to the City of Chanhassen's extensive existing sidewalk and trail system, and completing a portion of the TH 5 regional trail. In 2011, the City of Chanhassen began work on a pedestrian underpass at the intersection of Minnewashta Parkway and TH 5 connecting the city of Victoria's trail system, Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail, and Carver Park Reserve to the Arboretum via a service road one mile west of the main entrance. Trail users to the west now have access to the Arboretum at this entrance, and once on Arboretum grounds can connect to the City of Chaska's trail system via a trailhead at the south side of the Campus. Trail users wishing to continue traveling to downtown Chanhassen and beyond must exit the Arboretum's main entrance and travel along the shoulder of TH 5. Alternatively, visitors or employees choosing to ride, walk or run to the Arboretum must travel along the TH 5 shoulder and enter via the main entrance drive. g: \park \th \arboretum trail connector \city council report 6281 Ldoc Mr. Todd Gerhardt June 27, 2011 Page 4 Recognizing TH 5 as a significant barrier for pedestrian and bicycle movement at this location, the City of Chanhassen, with Arboretum support, has completed preliminary design for the proposed trail and underpass. The proposed design will radically improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling along TH 5 and TH 41 by providing separated trail facilities. Simultaneously, the Arboretum is in the process of updating its master plan which will guide future projects to improve auto and pedestrian movement within the Arboretum campus. The proposed trail and underpass is an integral component in the long -term pedestrian and bicycle plan for this area and for the broader southwest region. Carver County has proposed a regional trail along the north side of TH 5, which is supported in the Comprehensive Plans of Chanhassen and Victoria, and is identified in the Metropolitan Council 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan. The proposed project will complete an important segment of the proposed Highway 5 Regional Trail, bridging a significant gap in the current local and future regional trail system. RECOMMENDATION It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve a letter of support and resolutions of Federal Funding applications for: 1) TH 5 Pedestrian Trail and TH 41 Pedestrian Underpass, 2) Bluff Creek Drive Trail Extension.
