About the Project
The Nokomis-Hiawatha Regional Park Master Plan was adopted in 2015. It provides a long-term vision for improvements at Lake Nokomis, Lake Hiawatha and surrounding parkland and trails. This project will build as many of the following unfinished, short-term connection improvements identified in the plan as possible under the project budget:
- Bike connection between Lake Nokomis Community Center and Woodlawn Boulevard
- Connection between the 54th Street E Triangle Park and West Lake Nokomis Parkway
- New trail connection between Edgewater Boulevard//E Lake Nokomis Parkway and Cedar Avenue Bridge
- New pedestrian-only trail loop around Amelia Pond
- Cedar Avenue crossing at 52nd Street
- Cedar Avenue crossing at 50th Street
- Lake Hiawatha pedestrian-only bridge over Minnehaha Creek
This is the first of three public meetings planned this summer. Future meetings are planned in July and August. Then project staff will finalize plans in the fall and construction is anticipated to begin in 2024.
