BILL MANGAN, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
CONSIDER FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR TRAILS
JUNE 17, 1991
The Feasibility Study for Trails was initiated
by the Parks Advisorr Committee to determine
the cost and feasib1lity of an asphalt trail
within Lakefront Park and connectin~ C.R. 44
south to Highway 13 via Franklin Tra11.
The Parks Advisory Committee has been meeting
for three months in order to plan for
prioritized park improvements. The
first priority of the Parks Advisory
Committee (PAC) was to begin the trail segment
connecting the high school to Highway 13 along
C.R. 44. When staff found out that C.R. 44
was scheduled for reconstruction in 1993, the
PAC then decided to wait on that segment until
the road was reconstructed. The PAC then
recommended a feasibilitr study for trails in
Lakefront Park for th1s year including a
trail from C.R. 44 south to Highway 13. The
Engineering plans and drawings were done "in
house" to maximize dollars.
The City Council authorized a feasibility
study to be completed by staff and returned to
the Council in June.
Engineering staff has completed the
feasibilitr study and it is attached to this
report. H1ghlights of the study include:
1. Trail construction, a bridge, and trail
lighting costs of $351,000 for Lakefront
Park.
2. Trail construction costs of $96,000 for
Franklin Trail from Highway 13 south to
Highway 13.
Please consult the study for the breakdown of
the costs of each segment.

the feasibility study and refer it to the
Parks Advisory Committee for recommendation on
funding.
A motion is in order to accept the feasibility
study as prepared by staff. Part of the
motion should include direction to the PAC to
complete recommendations on funding and a
timetable for improvements. Staff encourages
Council to set a July deadline for the
recommendations from the PAC.

PRELIMINARY REPORT AND ESTIMATE OF COST
FOR THE
CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 91-14
BIKEWAY, BRIDGE, LIGHTING
AND APPURTENANT WORK
JUNE 17, 1991
I. TYPE OF WORK
The general nature of the improvement project is for the
installation of bituminous surfacing for trails in Lakefront
Park and along Franklin Trail from Trunk Highway 13 (South
Terminus) to Trunk Highway 13 (North Terminus). Included in
this feasibility study is the installation of a pedestrian
brid~e over the pond in Lakefront Park and lighting of a
port10n of the trail system in Lakefront Park and appurtenant
work such as landscaping, restoration, and drainage pipe.
II. LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
The project area is located in the southerly half of Section
35, Township 115 North, Range 22 West and Northerly half of
Section 2, Township 114 North, Range 22 West, Scott County,
Minnesota for the Lakefront Park trail system improvements.
The trail srstem improvements along Franklin Trail (CSAH 39)
is located 1n the Easterly half of Section 2 and the Westerly
half of Section 1, Township 114 North, Range 22 West, and in
the Southwesterly quarter of Section 36, Township 115 North,
Range 22 West, Scott County, Minnesota.
III.DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The improvement will construct a trail system within
Lakefront Park and connect the trail to CSAH 21 near the
downtown area. This improvement project will also construct
an asphalt trail along Franklin Trail from Trunk Highway 13
by the EZ stop Stores to the intersection of Trunk Highway 13
by the Metropolitan Federal Bank building.
The Lakefront Park trail system improvements include:
aggregate base, bituminous surfacing, excavation, clearing
and grubbing, restoration, a bridge over the pond, and
lighting of the interior looped trail within the park. In
this study, it is being proposed that the Park Department
4629 Dakota St. S.E.. Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
will performed the clearing and grubbing,
restoration work items in Lakefront Park and
work items would be done by a Contractor.
excavation and
the remaining
The Franklin Trail system improvements include: excavation,
aggregate base, bituminous surfacing, landscaping, retaining
walls and restoration work. Cost estimates were based on the
trail being located on the east side of Franklin Trail. The
actual location of the trail either east or west side of
Franklin Trail will be determined in the design phase, if the
project is approved.
IV: LENGTH OF PROJECT
This proposed project consists of approximately 11,000 lineal
feet and 6110 lineal feet of bituminous surfaced trail for
the Lakefront Park and Franklin Trail areas, res~ectively.
Included in the Lakefront Park trail system is a br1dge over
the pond of approximately 205 lineal feet in span length and
a~proximately 3,450 lineal feet of trail which would have
11ghting installed along the trail.
In the proposed 6,110 lineal feet of trail improvement on
Franklin Trail, approximately 1070 lineal feet from CSAH 44
north to Trunk Highway 13 has been included in the study.
The initial authorization of the feasibility study
recommended a trail from CSAH 44 south to Trunk Highway 13.
A separate cost has been included for installing a trail from
CSAH 44 north to Trunk Hi9hway 13 so as to complete the trail
system along Franklin Tra1l.
V. FEASIBILITY
From an engineering standpoint, this pro~ect is feasible and
can be accomplished as proposed and not 1n conjunction with
any other project.
VI. ESTIMATED COST
The following costs were prepared based upon
