Sherburne County acknowledges active-transportation grant for Casa 23 pedestrian trail
Summary
The board approved resolution 050526-3289 to acknowledge an active transportation grant for a pedestrian trail along Casa 23 (Edgewood Street to north of County Road 127). The city of Becker will sponsor any costs exceeding the grant award; staff said wetlands and culvert crossings are part of the design.
Sherburne County commissioners approved a resolution acknowledging an active-transportation grant for a pedestrian trail along Casa 23, confirming grant funding and local sponsor responsibilities for costs beyond the award.
Public works staff David told the board design work is underway for a trail from Edgewood Street to the city park and up to 103rd (Passapart) in the Becker area. An active-transportation grant was awarded to the project; the resolution (050526-3289) acknowledges the award and states that any excess costs will be sponsored by other jurisdictions, with the city of Becker picking up additional expenses.
David said the design team has worked to minimize impacts to trees and private properties and noted the alignment includes a couple of wetland and culvert crossings; environmental authorities have approved working adjacent to wetlands. Commissioners approved the resolution by voice vote and thanked staff for the project development.
Next steps: staff will finalize design details with Becker and monitor environmental permits and cost-sharing commitments as the project moves toward construction.
