Minnesota River Greenway County Project (CP) 97-153 MN

In 2008, Dakota County adopted a plan that established a vision of a 200-mile greenway. The greenway will connect residents to parks by improving connectivity, providing year-round recreation, and protecting and enhancing natural resources. Since 2008, the County has developed several sections of the greenway that extend into neighboring counties, one of which is called the Minnesota River Greenway. The MN River Greenway extends for 17 miles across five cities and is divided into four segments. The four segments are listed below:

Segment 1 – Lilydale Regional Park to I-494 (5 miles)Segment 2 – I-494 to Cedar Avenue/ Trunk Highway 77 (4 miles)Segment 3 – Cedar Avenue/ Trunk Highway 77 to Interstate 35 West (3.5 miles)Segment 4 – I-35W to Scott County (4 miles)

To learn more, visit www.co.dakota.mn.us and search Minnesota River

The project will include:• 1.2 miles of paved multi-use trail.

• This project will connect to the existing Big Rivers Regional Trail near the intersection of I-494 and TH 13, and continue south along Trunk Highway 13 to a neighborhood gateway near Lone Oak Road.

• The neighborhood gateway includes a trail connection to the Minnesota River Greenway, a parking lot with 15 to 20 spaces and seasonal restroom facilities.

• Construction expected to start in Spring 2017

Dakota County completed a feasibility study in 2014 on Segment 2 – I-494 to Cedar Avenue/ Trunk Highway (TH) 77. The study determined an alignment for the greenway and estimated construction costs. Upon completion of the study, the County applied for and was awarded federal funding for the construction of the first phase of MRG Segment 2. The first phase begins at its connection with Big Rivers Regional Trail (BRRT) at I-494 and TH 13 to the extension of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 26 (Lone Oak Road) in Eagan.
