Background:
The Bassett Creek Regional Trail will provide a connection between French Regional Park in Plymouth and Theodore Wirth Regional Park in Golden Valley. Three Rivers Park District, in coordination with the City of Golden Valley and the county, is leading a project to construct a multi-use trail to make this connection along CSAH 66 (Golden Valley Road) between CSAH 102 (Douglas Drive) and Theodore Wirth Parkway. The project team has been engaging with the community to share the design and gather feedback prior to constructing the improvements later this year.
The county previously entered into Agreement PW 05-44-25 with Three Rivers Park District for the project (Resolution 25-0102). The proposed amendment will increase the county’s not to exceed amount by $138,000 for pavement preservation work along Golden Valley Road. Funding for these improvements is available in County Project 2211000 - CSAH 66 Trail and Multimodal Safety Improvements, with expenses tracked in Subproject 2211005 - Basset Creek Regional Trail Mill and Overlay.
