Project Opportunities:<br />
Many opportunities for improving the <strong>Minnetonka</strong> <strong>Boulevard</strong><br />
(County Road 5) corridor can be imagined, both functionally<br />
and experientially. The corridor already has many distinct<br />
natural and cultural features to draw from, including the<br />
Minnehaha Creek, the historic <strong>Minnetonka</strong> Mills District,<br />
and a mature tree canopy throughout. Recognizing this, there<br />
are opportunities to build upon these features and provide<br />
additional amenities that support the various functions <strong>of</strong> the<br />
corridor, including autos, transit, commuter and recreational<br />
bikers, and pedestrians. Such opportunities include, Pedestrian<br />
Safety features, Bicycle Support Facilities, improved <strong>St</strong>reetscape<br />
Design, Gateway Design, Interpretive Features, Improved Creek<br />
Access & Water Quality Improvements. Under the theme <strong>of</strong><br />
“Link to the Lakes”, <strong>Minnetonka</strong> Blvd. could someday become<br />
a significant recreational connection between Lake <strong>Minnetonka</strong><br />
and the Minneapolis Chain <strong>of</strong> Lakes.<br />
