Public Input Sought for Trail Improvements along West River Bank
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) seeks community input on plans to improve 3.5 miles of bicycle and pedestrian trails and related amenities along the west bank of the Mississippi River from Franklin Avenue to Plymouth Avenue in Minneapolis.
A community survey and series of community meetings are planned. The 21-person appointed CAC will have its second and final meetings on September 24 and October 15. The Community Open House will offer an on opportunity to review planning efforts to date. All meetings are open to the public and will include an opportunity for public participation and/or comment.
Throughout the planning process, members of an appointed Community Advisory Committee (CAC) will work with MPRB staff and consultants to engage the community to develop a preferred plan for trail improvements, including new surfacing, lighting, signs and amenities such as drinking fountains. Trail improvements will meet federal and MPRB design and safety standards. The final recommendations of the CAC will be forwarded to the MPRB Board of Commissioners for review and approval.
