The ROCORI Trail Project recently received another big boost a couple by the Minnesota Legislature and Governor Tim Pawlenty. The bonding bill pass by the legislature and signed by the Governor included $372 thousand for the ROCORI trail project. This is in addition to the federal grant of $526 thousand received a couple years ago. The project will expand the trail from Richmond through Cold Spring to Rockville, connecting with the Glacial Lakes Trail, the Beaver Island Trail, and the Lake Wobegon Trail. Once completed the total ROCORI trail length will be 12.2 miles.
This story includes a recent ROCORI Trail committee meeting where the steps to making the trail a reality by 2010 were further delineated. Phase one of the project will create a paved trail along the present railroad bed beginning at the Sauk River bridge in Richmond and ending in downtown Cold Spring. Six blocks of the trail was constructed in downtown Rockville during the summer of 2007 as a part of the highway 23 turn back project.
