RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT
FIRST TIER TRAILS MASTER PLAN
WHEREAS, Three Rivers Park District has studied the potential for trails, greenways
and parks in the First Tier Communities of Suburban Hennepin County; and
WHEREAS, the Three Rivers Park District has authorized its consultant, Stanley
Consultants Inc. to make trail alignment recommendations; and
WHEREAS, the alignment through Golden Valley is as follows:
The trail system would begin at the TH 100 pedestrian bridge (located at Dawnview
Terrace), and would follow south along Unity Avenue (on the new trail constructed as
part of the 2002 Unity Avenue project), completing a link to the existing trail along the
southwest side of Minnaqua Pond. From the south end of Minnaqua Pond, the trail
would follow east along Westbend Road, then south along Regent Avenue, then east
along CSAH 66 (Duluth Street/Golden Valley Road) to Wirth Parkway.
WHEREAS, the Three Rivers Park District desires that communities initiate and
support the implementation of said plan; and
WHEREAS, the Three Rivers Park District will require a cooperative agreement with
each city where a trail, greenway or park would be implemented.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Golden
Valley supports the alignment and efforts of the Three Rivers Park District to implement a
first tier system of trails in Golden Valley:
