The project team has been engaging with the community to share the design and gather feedback prior to constructing the improvements later this year.
This trail connection is being completed as part of four projects. The county and Three Rivers Park District collaborated to include the county’s Highway Safety Improvement Program project on Golden Valley Road at the Noble Avenue and Hidden Lakes Parkway intersections as part of Three Rivers Park District’s Bassett Creek Regional Trail project.
