The missing link to the Minneapolis Grand Rounds trail system would be solved under an ambitious design plan released by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board.
State of play: The 51-mile system that hugs the Mississippi River, Minnehaha Creek and Chain of Lakes is interrupted by a 140-year-old gap in Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis.
Details: If approved by Park Board commissioners, the new design would create trails and parkland in Saint Anthony Village, Mid-City Industrial, Como and Prospect Park in increments over the next decade, according to a press release.
- A future study will determine the feasibility of building a bridge over the wide rail yards of Southeast Minneapolis
