FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City Council, Three Rivers Park District Board to meet to
discuss Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail
Edina, Minn., Sept. 10, 2010 – The Edina City Council and Three Rivers Park District
Board of Commissioners will hold a joint work session later this month to discuss possible
routes for the proposed Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail.
The work session will be held 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 29, in the auditorium at South View
Middle School, 4725 South View Lane. The public is welcome to attend, but testimony will
not be taken. A public hearing will be held at a future date.
The concept for the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail was established over 10 years ago as
part of a larger initiative to lay the foundation for development of multi-use regional trails in
the first-ring suburbs. The regional trail is envisioned to provide a critical connection with
the existing Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail in the cities of Hopkins and Minnetonka,
running east-west through the City of Edina, extending into the City of Richfield, and
providing a connection to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in the City of
Bloomington and Grand Rounds Trail System at Lake Nokomis in the City of Minneapolis
via the planned Intercity Regional Trail. Several alternative trail route segments are under
consideration and include routes adjacent to roads and along the Nine Mile Creek
corridor.
For more information, contact Park & Recreation Director John Keprios, 952-826-0430, or
Kelly Grissman at Three Rivers Park District, 763-694-7635.
