The Regional Trail and Bikeway System - Trails and bikeways are community resources that provide recreational and transportation options and<br />
connections between cities, neighborhoods, land uses and recreational sites. Hennepin County, Three Rivers <strong>Park</strong> District and the cities <strong>of</strong> <strong>Minnetonka</strong>,<br />
Hopkins and <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Park</strong> have all completed master plans for trail and bikeway systems that intersect or run nearby to the <strong>Minnetonka</strong> <strong>Boulevard</strong><br />
(County Road 5) corridor and together they represent an extensive network <strong>of</strong> local and regional routes connecting <strong>Minnetonka</strong> Blvd. to all parts <strong>of</strong><br />
these cities.<br />
Another significant opportunity is the potential to relate these trails to the Minneapolis “Grand Rounds” network, creating a trail that extends all the<br />
way from Lake <strong>Minnetonka</strong> to the Mississippi River. To accomplish this, it would require the completion <strong>of</strong> a trail segment along <strong>Minnetonka</strong> Blvd.<br />
between the intersections <strong>of</strong> the Lake <strong>Minnetonka</strong> LRT Regional Trail, near Shady Oak Road and the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail, near Aquila<br />
Avenue. This would require upgrading on-road bike lanes between these points or creating a new <strong>of</strong>f-road trail link.<br />
