The Planning Commission, Park Board, and City Council all reviewed and approved an update to

plan we highlighted a few connections of high and medium priority. Those connections are:
High Priority
• Baker St from 12th – 18th Ave SE (6’ sidewalk)
• Highway 75 Crossing – 20th Ave SE to Ridgewood CT and Wobegon Trail (Trail)
• Northland Dr – Fir St to Highway 75 (sidewalk)
• Various infill connections in downtown (sidewalk)
Medium Priority
• Co Rd 121 – Jade Road to East Park (put as Medium due to unknown of funding and
development of East Park. Funding has now been secured for Phase 1) Trail connection
• MN St – 16th – 20th Ave SE (sidewalk)
• 18th AVE SE – Baker St to MN ST (sidewalk)
Staff would like to develop a consensus of what projects to target first so we can strategically
plan for proper grant funding. Staff is requesting the Council make a recommendation on the list
of projects.
