Require that prior to initiating development of the regional trail, preliminary plans must be sent to Scott Dentz, Interceptor Engineering Manager at Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, for review in order to assess the potential impacts to the regional interceptor system. Background Saint Paul has submitted a master plan amendment for the Robert Piram Regional Trail, formerly named the Harriet Island-South St. Paul Regional Trail. When complete, the regional trail will travel 3.4 miles and connect Lilydale-Harriet Island Regional Park in Saint Paul to the River to River Greenway and Mississippi River Regional Trails at Kaposia Landing in South St. Paul. The regional trail will complete an important gap in the system and make connections to existing and planned trails that lead to downtown Saint Paul and Hastings along the Mississippi River, and Burnsville along the Minnesota River. The current master plan for the regional trail was approved by the Metropolitan Council in April 2016.
