Surrounding Framework: • Create an overall landscape concept that frames the intersection, reinforces the “Scenic Corridor” image and integrates the various trails and adjacent land uses. Street trees on Minnetonka Blvd are part of this treatment • Use landscape to provide color, seasonal change and spatial definition • Allow views to interesting elements such as Minnehaha Creek and create alternative trail connections to cross roads • Provide special lighting fixtures and indirect lighting concepts to enhance the scenic corridor • Link cross walks and roadside plazas to local and regional trail pedestrian / bicycle systems Design Prototype: Major Intersection Minnetonka Boulevard at Plymouth Road Prototype: Minnetonka Blvd. & Plymouth Road 51
